Wedding hog roast in Strood Green, slow-roasted on site

On the menu are spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater late-night wedding food and marquee receptions.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.

The closest is Betchworth station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
