About our wedding hog roast in Connaught Village
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. Whether it’s vow renewals and blessings and second-day get-togethers, we can cook salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
London weddings around Connaught Village often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Connaught Village questions
What if our house in Connaught Village has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to Connaught Village?
London Paddington station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Lighting for evening service
- A way in for the roaster
Connaught Village is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
