What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in Tooting Bec, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Tooting Bec
What’s the nearest station to Tooting Bec?
Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Could you cook in Wandle Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves a lot of people fast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
