Slow-roasted pork in New Cross
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
About our wedding hog roast in New Cross
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around New Cross suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for garden weddings at home and evening receptions.
In New Cross, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will work through it together. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in New Cross, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
