Wedding hog roast near Colindale
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Colindale: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. For weddings in a family garden and blessings and renewals, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes and more.
Couples in Colindale frequently 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. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed

Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Colindale: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Matthias the Apostle church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Colindale?
The closest is Hendon station, roughly 1 mile away.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Where the roaster can go in Colindale
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Power for lights in the evening
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Colindale 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Colindale
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Colindale, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
