Wedding hog roast in West Peckham, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around West Peckham suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings in a family garden and vow renewals and blessings, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes.
There’s something special about a country wedding near West Peckham, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in West Peckham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in West Peckham
Which station is closest to West Peckham?
The closest is Wateringbury station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Is West Peckham close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
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.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
