Wedding hog roast in Plashet, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. For late-night wedding food and wedding breakfasts with sides, we’ll put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For a wedding in Plashet, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll agree the details with them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Golden-hour photos in Plashet at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Questions from Plashet
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Barnabas: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Step-free access for our equipment
As a London location, Plashet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
