Wedding hog roast in Cambridge Heath
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter weddings in Cambridge Heath are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

After a ceremony at a church like St James-the-Less, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. Planning photos in Haggerston Park? It is worth checking the park’s rules first.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Cambridge Heath: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cambridge Heath?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St James-the-Less: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Do we need extra food?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
