Wedding hog roast for South Bank
Wedding hog roast near South Bank
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, salads and crackling, and typical bookings are for home weddings and the main wedding meal.
London weddings around South Bank frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Questions from South Bank
What if our house in South Bank has no side access?
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.
Which station is closest to South Bank?
London Waterloo station, in South Bank itself.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Where the roaster can go in South Bank
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
South Bank 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.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In South Bank, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
