Wedding hog roast in Bow Common, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. For home weddings and marquee receptions, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Couples in Bow Common frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Where the roaster can go in Bow Common
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
As a London location, Bow Common is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Bow Common, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
