Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Cockfosters 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.

Wedding hog roast near Cockfosters
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. For second-day get-togethers and small, informal weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling and more.
Couples in Cockfosters often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Cockfosters are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Cockfosters: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Cockfosters?
New Barnet station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Can we just hire the roaster?
