Wedding hog roast in Forty Hill, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Whether it is anniversary vow renewals and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For a wedding in Forty Hill, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Nearby historic houses include Forty Hall (less than half a mile north) and Bruce Castle (4.6 miles south). Grand venues like these normally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking.

Further out, we also cater in London (12 miles south), City of Westminster (11 miles south), Marylebone (11 miles south), Kensington (13 miles south-west), St Pancras (10 miles south) and Shoreditch (10 miles south).

As a London location, Forty Hill 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Forty Hill
Can you do a hog roast in Enfield Town Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Forty Hill and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Forty Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Forty Hill hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- A clear quote with everything listed

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
