Wedding hog roast in Canning Town
About our wedding hog roast in Canning Town
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. We serve halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and salads, and we’re frequently booked for garden weddings at home and small, informal weddings.
In Canning Town, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll agree the details with them. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Canning Town
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- A photo of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
