Wedding hog roast in Vanbrugh Park Estate, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Typical bookings include marquee receptions and weddings in a family garden, serving carved roast pork, crackling and salads.
London weddings around Vanbrugh Park Estate often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Serving and clearing done for you

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For a summer wedding in Vanbrugh Park Estate, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.

Questions from Vanbrugh Park Estate
Can you do a hog roast in East Greenwich Pleasaunce?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
