Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How our wedding hog roast works in St Luke's
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in St Luke's: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. We are frequently asked to cater evening food after the first dance and vow renewals and blessings, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
Couples in St Luke's often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are 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.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
