How our wedding hog roast works in East Barnet
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is weddings in a family garden and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers for your guests.
London weddings around East Barnet 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, so check with the venue early. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

East Barnet: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in East Barnet has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. At a December wedding in East Barnet, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
