Wedding hog roast in Petersham
About our wedding hog roast in Petersham
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We are often asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and weddings in a family garden, with salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
London weddings around Petersham often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?

What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where the roaster can go in Petersham
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Permission for outside catering
As a London location, Petersham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
