How our wedding hog roast works in Bow
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater evening receptions and marquee weddings, serving halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and crackling.
London weddings around Bow frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
About the food
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.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Bow 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Looking after everyone

- Give your coordinator the final menu
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
