About our wedding hog roast in Finchley
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Finchley. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. For relaxed, low-key weddings and home weddings, we can cook crackling, carved roast pork and salads.
In Finchley, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will agree the details with them. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Finchley, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Finchley: your questions answered
What if our house in Finchley has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's Finchley: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Permission for outside catering
- A way in for the roaster
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
As a London location, Finchley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
