Wedding hog roast in Wimbledon

Wedding hog roast in Wimbledon, carved to order

As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. We serve new potatoes, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for marquee weddings and the day after the wedding.

Couples in Wimbledon frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What the cooking area needs

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

  • Light near the carving station after dark
  • Space well clear of tents and trees
  • A short walk from the serving station to the guests

As a London location, Wimbledon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 before booking.

Popular choices

  • Roast or jacket potatoes
  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Halloumi skewers (V)
  • Stuffing and apple sauce
  • New potatoes
  • Vegan option (Ve)
  • Hog roast rolls
  • Spit-roast lamb
  • Salads
  • Crackling

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. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

Why book with us

  • Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
  • A clear quote with everything listed
  • Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Our staff serve and clear

Organising for someone else?

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

FAQs for Wimbledon

What if our house in Wimbledon has no side access?

Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Can you do a hog roast in Cannizaro Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Do venues allow outside hog roasts?

Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.

How do we prepare?

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.

Who serves?

We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Will guests be full?

We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.

When should we book?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

Do you need power or water?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

Allergies and dietary needs

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Request gluten-free rolls if needed
  • Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.

For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

How it works

People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Wimbledon, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
  4. We set up and roast for hours.
  5. We carve and serve, then clear away.

How to prepare

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Choosing a hog roast caterer

How we price a hog roast for your wedding

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Plates or china
  • The number of people
  • Menu choices and extras
  • Season and day of the week

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

What to tell us

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:

  • Your menu choices
  • An estimate of numbers
  • Your date and serving time
  • The venue or postcode

We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: use our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
