Wedding hog roast in Edgware, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. We’re often asked to cater late-night wedding food and the day after the wedding, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads.
Couples in Edgware frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before

FAQs for Edgware
We are gathering after a service at St Andrew: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Stoneyfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater in Edgware?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Edgware and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Edgware, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Preparing for the day

- Have a level outdoor spot ready
