About our wedding hog roast in Nine Elms
For a relaxed wedding in Nine Elms, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. For blessings and renewals and wedding breakfasts with sides, we will put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and salads and more.
Couples in Nine Elms 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. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Nine Elms questions
We are gathering after a service at All Saints: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Nine Elms?
Nine Elms has its own station: Battersea Park station.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Evening food at a Nine Elms wedding often goes out just as the light fades: 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.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Nine Elms hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Serving and clearing done for you
