How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For a summer wedding in Fish Island, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
As a London location, Fish Island 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.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Fish Island
We are gathering after a service at St Mary of Eton: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Fish Island?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
