Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Wedding hog roast in South Croydon, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it is wedding breakfasts and evening food after the first dance, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
For a wedding in South Croydon, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll work through it together. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.

- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- A picture of the cooking area
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for South Croydon, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In South Croydon, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests
Getting a price
