Book a hog roast in Mottingham
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Lighting for evening service
Mottingham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Wedding hog roast near Mottingham
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Mottingham. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For weddings in a family garden and marquee receptions, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers and more.
Couples in Mottingham frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Common questions in Mottingham
What if our house in Mottingham has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at Jubilee International Church?
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.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you cover Mottingham?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
