Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
How our wedding hog roast works in Finsbury Park
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We serve carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for intimate weddings and the main wedding meal.
London weddings around Finsbury Park frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A way in for the roaster
As a London location, Finsbury Park 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
