Wedding hog roast in Barnes, carved to order
For a relaxed wedding in Barnes, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Popular choices include new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re often booked for weddings in a family garden and post-wedding gatherings.
In Barnes, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll work through it together. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Barnes questions
What’s the nearest station to Barnes?
Barnes Bridge station, in Barnes itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Barnes?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where the roaster can go in Barnes
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Barnes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
