Wedding hog roast near Rush Green
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it’s marquee receptions and farm weddings, we can cook salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
In Rush Green, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll agree the details with them. 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Rush Green
Which station is closest to Rush Green?
The closest is Romford station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What if our house in Rush Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Evening food at a Rush Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Planning help
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
Rush Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Travel to Rush Green
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
