Wedding hog roast for Kidbrooke
Wedding hog roast in Kidbrooke, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. For evening food after the first dance and marquee weddings, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads and more.
For a wedding in Kidbrooke, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will agree the details with them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Kidbrooke
Which station is closest to Kidbrooke?
Kidbrooke station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Could you cook in Eltham Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Winter weddings in Kidbrooke are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day

For event organisers in Kidbrooke
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
