What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Power for lights in the evening
Crook Log 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Wedding hog roast in Crook Log, carved to order
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and new potatoes, and we are often booked for weddings in a family garden and the main wedding meal.
Couples in Crook Log often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Should I cook it myself?

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A hog roast or other catering?
