Slow-roasted pork in Aldgate
About our wedding hog roast in Aldgate
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and rustic barn receptions.
Couples in Aldgate often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Aldgate: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St James Duke's Place?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A way in for the roaster
- Permission for outside catering
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Aldgate 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Planning a wedding hog roast in Aldgate
Aldgate is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. We cover Aldgate and its neighbours for weddings. We bring hog roasts to 764 places in Greater London.
Nearby historic houses include Mansion House (0.5 miles west) and Dr Johnson's House (1.3 miles west). Grand venues like these generally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. If you want countryside in your photos, Tower Hill isn’t far.
For weddings in E1, EC2A and SE1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wedding in a garden on Bush Lane, Swan Lane and Mark Lane, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Being close to the A3 and A10, Aldgate is simple for us to get to. If your venue is just outside Aldgate, we also cover Spitalfields (1 mile north-east), Bishopsgate (1 mile north-west), Tower Hill (1 mile south), Whitechapel (1 mile north-east) and City of London (1 mile west).

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. At a December wedding in Aldgate, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
