Wedding hog roast in Plumstead, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. For rustic barn receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides, we will put together a menu of crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb.
London weddings around Plumstead 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. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Golden-hour photos in Plumstead at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
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. Sort that first.
FAQs for Plumstead
What’s the nearest station to Plumstead?
Plumstead station, in Plumstead itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Plumstead?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.

Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
What about guests who do not eat pork?

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Step-free access for our equipment
As a London location, Plumstead 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 before you book.
