Slow-roasted pork in Dalston
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About our wedding hog roast in Dalston
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. We are frequently asked to cater marquee receptions and weddings in a family garden, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
London weddings around Dalston 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 cannot offer, so ask early. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Dalston: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Dalston?
Dalston has its own station: Dalston Junction station.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Evening food at a Dalston wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
