A hog roast near Lee
Wedding hog roast in Lee, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Lee suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For the main wedding meal and marquee weddings, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes for your guests.
Couples in Lee frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Weddings in Lee: venues, ceremonies and travel
Lee is about 2 miles south of Greenwich, in Greater London. We take a hog roast for your wedding to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Lee and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. We cater events right across the region, from Lee to London (about 6 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Eltham Palace (1.7 miles east) and Queen's House (2.1 miles north). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and gas cooking. Manor House Gardens can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first.
For weddings in SE12, SE13 and SE3, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Old Road, Manor Lane and Mallet Road, and a wedding on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Lee, we also cover Hither Green (1 mile west), Horn Park (1 mile south-east), Lewisham (1 mile north-west), Ladywell (1 mile west) and Blackheath (1 mile north). We also serve nearby towns such as London (6 miles north-west), City of Westminster (8 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (6 miles north-west).
A little further out are Nunhead (2.9 miles west) and University Hospital Lewisham (1.1 miles west). Open spaces near Lee include Summer Hill and Birdbrook Road Nature Reserve.
- Nearby schools include Trinity Church of England School (within half a mile north) and International Academy of Greenwich (less than half a mile north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Edmund Halley pub (within half a mile north-east)

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.

- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Lee
Which station is closest to Lee?
Lee station, in Lee itself.
Could you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
