Wedding hog roast in Mortlake, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Mortlake. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a family garden and marquee receptions, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
For a wedding in Mortlake, 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. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Mortlake
- Plates or china

- Roughly how many people

Questions from Mortlake
Can you cater after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in Mortlake has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, sunset in Mortlake is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
