Wedding hog roast near East Village

A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in East Village: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Typical bookings include farm weddings and evening food after the first dance, serving new potatoes, crackling and salads.

Couples in East Village often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What the cooking area needs

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:

  • A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
  • Lighting for evening service
  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

As a London location, East Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Step by step

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Golden-hour photos in East Village at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
  3. The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
  4. We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
  5. Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.

How to prepare

What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Crackling

Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

  • Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
