About our wedding hog roast in Bishopsgate
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include evening receptions and anniversary vow renewals, serving carved roast pork, new potatoes and crackling.
Rural weddings around Bishopsgate have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. 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.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Why choose a hog roast in Bishopsgate?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Bishopsgate hosts choose us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: use our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Bishopsgate
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the roaster
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Crackling

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At a December wedding in Bishopsgate, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
