Slow-roasted pork in Putney Vale
Wedding hog roast in Putney Vale, carved to order
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater blessings and renewals and intimate weddings.
London weddings around Putney Vale frequently 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 can’t offer, so ask early. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

What’s the nearest station to Putney Vale?
The closest is Raynes Park station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Wimbledon Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
