Wedding hog roast in Romford
Wedding hog roast in Romford, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Whether it’s the day after the wedding and marquee weddings, we can cook carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Couples in Romford frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Romford
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb

Common questions in Romford
What’s the nearest station to Romford?
Romford has its own station: Romford station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Romford?
Often, 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.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A way in for the roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
As a London location, Romford 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
