Wedding hog roast in Longlands
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Lighting for evening service
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
As a London location, Longlands is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Wedding hog roast near Longlands
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Popular choices include carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for second-day get-togethers and evening receptions.
London weddings around Longlands frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Longlands
What’s the nearest station to Longlands?
The closest is New Eltham station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Step by step

In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
