Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
How our wedding hog roast works in Dollis Hill
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We serve salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater late-night wedding food and weddings in a marquee.
Couples in Dollis Hill often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Power for lights in the evening
- A way in for the roaster
As a London location, Dollis Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Dollis Hill
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Dollis Hill?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
