Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Chingford Hatch, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
