Wedding hog roast in North Cray
North Cray questions
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in North Cray has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll sort the details with them.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
About our wedding hog roast in North Cray
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. For home weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
Couples in North Cray often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At a December wedding in North Cray, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food 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.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A serving area close to where guests eat
North Cray is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or DA14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
