A hog roast near Tooting
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Wedding hog roast in Tooting, carved to order
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. We are frequently asked to cater home weddings and marquee weddings, with halloumi skewers, crackling and carved roast pork.
In Tooting, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will work through it together. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
Tooting is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Questions from Tooting
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Tooting?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at St Augustine: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
