About our wedding hog roast in Cowley
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. For farm weddings and the day after the wedding, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers and more.
London weddings around Cowley often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Questions from Cowley
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cowley?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Laurence?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Why choose a hog roast in Cowley?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evening food at a Cowley wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
