Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Gospel Oak
Could you cook in Parliament Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Highgate Road Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Wedding hog roast near Gospel Oak
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater home weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
Couples in Gospel Oak 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 can’t offer, so ask early. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
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. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
