Slow-roasted pork in South Woodford
Wedding hog roast in South Woodford, carved to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around South Woodford suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for weddings in a family garden and late-night wedding food.
London weddings around South Woodford 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, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in South Woodford
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South Woodford?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cover South Woodford?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

When you get in touch, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in South Woodford are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
