Wedding hog roast in South Wimbledon
About our wedding hog roast in South Wimbledon
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We’re frequently asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and evening receptions, serving carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers.
London weddings around South Wimbledon often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

Common questions in South Wimbledon
What if our house in South Wimbledon has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to South Wimbledon?
South Wimbledon has its own station: Wimbledon station.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
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.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In South Wimbledon, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
South Wimbledon 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
