Wedding hog roast for Clapton
Wedding hog roast near Clapton
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Whether it is second-day get-togethers and evening receptions, we can cook carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In Clapton, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll agree the details with them. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Power for lights in the evening
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
Clapton 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.

- We set up and roast for hours.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. 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.
Why Clapton hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Common questions in Clapton
What if our house in Clapton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James the Great: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
