Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
About our wedding hog roast in Egypt
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and the day after the wedding.
Near Egypt, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Egypt
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Egypt from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Serving and clearing done for you
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Winter weddings in Egypt are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
