Wedding hog roast in Bishopsgate
Wedding hog roast in Bishopsgate, carved to order
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include small, informal weddings and anniversary vow renewals, with new potatoes, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
For a wedding in Bishopsgate, 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. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer wedding in Bishopsgate, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
