Wedding hog roast for Donnybrook Quarter
How our wedding hog roast works in Donnybrook Quarter
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We are often asked to cater evening receptions and relaxed, low-key weddings, with new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Couples in Donnybrook Quarter often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Donnybrook Quarter
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Donnybrook Quarter?
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.
Could you cook in Grove Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
