Wedding hog roast in Rise Park, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings, serving new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Couples in Rise Park frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Power for lights in the evening
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Rise Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Questions from Rise Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Rise Park?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St James: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to Rise Park?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Rise Park and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
