About our wedding hog roast in Blackwall
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for the day after the wedding and anniversary vow renewals.
London weddings around Blackwall often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Blackwall
Which station is closest to Blackwall?
Canary Wharf station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Blackwall?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cater in Blackwall?
Yes, Blackwall is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

- Planned to your running order
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give your coordinator the final menu
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Power for lights in the evening
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
As a London location, Blackwall 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
