Wedding hog roast for Peckham Bush
Questions from Peckham Bush
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
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.
Is Peckham Bush close to London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Wedding hog roast in Peckham Bush, carved to order
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Whether it’s home weddings and wedding breakfasts, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes for your guests.
Near Peckham Bush, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Winter weddings in Peckham Bush are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
