How our wedding hog roast works in St Paul's Cray
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. For wedding breakfasts and small, informal weddings, we can cook new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.
For a wedding in St Paul's Cray, 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening food at a St Paul's Cray wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
FAQs for St Paul's Cray
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St Paul's Cray?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St Barnabas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Permission for outside catering
As a London location, St Paul's Cray is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
