About our wedding hog roast in Woodside
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include intimate weddings and second-day get-togethers, serving carved roast pork, crackling and halloumi skewers.
For a wedding in Woodside, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will work through it together. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Getting married in Woodside?
Woodside is about 6 miles south of New Cross, in Greater London. Woodside and the surrounding area are covered for weddings. We bring hog roasts to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Woodside to London (8 miles away).
Guests coming by rail will want to know that Norwood Junction station, about 0.7 miles north-west, is the nearest station. After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Luke, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting.
Weddings anywhere in CR0, SE25 and CR9 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Local streets include Long Lane, Tudor Road and Coe Avenue; a wedding on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include Ashburton (1 mile south), Addiscombe (1 mile south), Shirley Oaks (1 mile south-east), Monks Orchard (1 mile south-east) and Shirley (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include London (8 miles north), City of Westminster (9 miles north-west), Marylebone (10 miles north), Kensington (10 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north) and Shoreditch (10 miles north).

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- No surprises: everything in writing

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter weddings in Woodside are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Lighting for evening service
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
Woodside 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
