Wedding hog roast near Newington Butts
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater intimate weddings and marquee receptions.
In Newington Butts, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll agree the details with them. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
As a London location, Newington Butts is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Newington Butts questions
We are gathering after a service at Metropolitan Tabernacle: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Newington Butts?
Newington Butts has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
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.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Newington Butts, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
