Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Wedding hog roast in Woodford Bridge, slow-roasted on site
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. For post-wedding gatherings and anniversary vow renewals, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, crackling and new potatoes.
London weddings around Woodford Bridge often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Woodford Bridge questions
Could you cook in Linder's Field?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Woodford Bridge?
Highams Park station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
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.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Woodford Bridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
