Wedding hog roast near Stockwell
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. For second-day get-togethers and blessings and renewals, we’ll put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers and more.
London weddings around Stockwell frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
Send us the date, the address or SW9 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
