About our wedding hog roast in Bloomsbury
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it is post-wedding gatherings and home weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and carved roast pork and more.
For a wedding in Bloomsbury, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Bloomsbury is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.

- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book our hog roast in Bloomsbury
- A clear quote with everything listed
- All the equipment comes with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Perfect for your wedding in Bloomsbury
Guests gather round the carving, and it looks great in photos.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Bloomsbury
Can you do a hog roast in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Bloomsbury has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
Bloomsbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- New potatoes
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Crackling

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
