Wedding hog roast in Arnos Grove
Wedding hog roast near Arnos Grove
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads, and we’re frequently booked for rustic barn receptions and weddings in a marquee.
Couples in Arnos Grove frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
