A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Wedding hog roast near Locksbottom
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. We serve carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re frequently booked for weddings in a marquee and evening food after the first dance.
Couples in Locksbottom 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. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Locksbottom
Can you cater after a service at St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
