Wedding hog roast in Lower Morden, carved to order

A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. For home weddings and marquee weddings, we can cook crackling, salads and new potatoes for your guests.

Couples in Lower Morden frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?

Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Planning for dietary needs

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Give your coordinator the final menu
  • Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
  • Give final numbers in good time
  • Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed

Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.

Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

The menu, dish by dish

Roast pork

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.

Crackling

Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Full catering or machine hire?

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

What happens on the day

Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, sunset in Lower Morden is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  2. You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.

Lower Morden: your questions answered

We’re gathering after a service at St Martin's: can you cater?

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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Lower Morden?

Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?

The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.

Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?

It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.

Do we need to provide electricity?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

How do you work out quantities?

The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

Is there a non-pork option?

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

Do you serve the food?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

  • Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
