About our wedding hog roast in Barnet
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee and evening receptions, with crackling, salads and new potatoes.
In Barnet, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What else we do in Barnet
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
As a London location, Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Barnet
We’re gathering after a service at St John's United Reformed Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Barnet?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in Barnet 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.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
