A hog roast near Fortune Green
Wedding hog roast near Fortune Green
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. Whether it is garden weddings at home and post-wedding gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Couples in Fortune Green frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: 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 Fortune Green, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Fortune Green questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Luke: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Kilburn Grange Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Is there a non-pork option?
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.
Where the roaster can go in Fortune Green
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
