Cannon Hill: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Cannon Hill Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Cannon Hill has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

London weddings around Cannon Hill frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home.

Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Permission for outside catering
Cannon Hill 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’ll say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In Cannon Hill, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
