How our wedding hog roast works in East End of London
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include late-night wedding food and farm weddings, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and crackling.
London weddings around East End of London frequently 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. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Questions from East End of London
Could you cook in Stepney Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
