About our wedding hog roast in South Kensington
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. For weddings in a family garden and post-wedding gatherings, we can cook carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
Couples in South Kensington frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

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. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Common questions in South Kensington
We’re gathering after a service at Chapel of St Luke: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Burton’s Court?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Timed around your day
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter weddings in South Kensington are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Power for lights in the evening
As a London location, South Kensington 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to South Kensington
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help

- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
