Planning a wedding comes with a lot of decisions — but catering is one of the biggest. Not just because of the cost, but because it’s what your guests will remember.
And one of the most common questions couples ask is: “What are we actually getting for the price?”
Let’s break it down in a simple, honest way.
It starts with the experience — not just the food
Spit roast catering isn’t just about feeding your guests. It becomes part of your wedding atmosphere.
The smell of slow-roasted meat, the visual of it cooking on-site, guests gathering around — it creates a relaxed, social energy that traditional catering often lacks.
Instead of waiting for courses, people connect, move, and enjoy the moment.
What’s actually included?
One of the biggest advantages is clarity and simplicity.
Here’s what wedding catering with London Spit Roast typically includes:
- Freshly cooked hog or spit roast (prepared on-site)
- Our signature marinade to keep the meat tender and moist
- A professional chef (plus an assistant if required)
- A selection of salads (2–4 depending on package)
- Canapés (on selected packages)
- Vegetarian options for up to 15% of your guests
- Fresh floured bread rolls
- Apple sauce for pork and mint sauce for lamb
- Ceramic plates and stainless steel cutlery
- Full setup (cooking and serving area, equipment)
All food is freshly served over a dedicated service period, ensuring your guests enjoy it at its best.
Choosing the right package
Not every wedding needs the same level of catering. That’s why our packages are designed to match different styles — while keeping everything simple, generous, and easy to enjoy.
All options include on-site cooking and a dedicated one-hour serving window, where our chef freshly carves and serves the food for your guests.

Why are more couples choosing this style
Traditional sit-down catering can feel:
- Slow
- Formal
- Logistically heavy
Spit roast catering offers a different approach:
✔ Faster, smoother service
✔ More relaxed atmosphere
✔ Works beautifully in outdoor or unique venues
✔ Less pressure on timelines and seating plans
Instead of formal table service, food is served fresh by our chef over a one-hour period — allowing guests to come up, choose what they like, and enjoy it at their own pace.
It keeps the atmosphere relaxed, social, and far less rigid than traditional sit-down catering.
Final thought
At the end of the day, your wedding isn’t about perfect timelines or formal service. It’s about people, atmosphere, and shared moments. Good food plays a huge part in that — but it doesn’t have to be complicated.
