What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Bayswater, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

About our wedding hog roast in Bayswater
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We are frequently asked to cater marquee receptions and post-wedding gatherings, with spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
For a wedding in Bayswater, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
FAQs for Bayswater
What if our house in Bayswater has no side access?
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.
We are gathering after a service at Essex Street Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
As a London location, Bayswater is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
