How our wedding hog roast works in Greengate
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater the main wedding meal and weddings in a marquee.
For a wedding in Greengate, 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. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What else we do in Greengate
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Greengate
Can you do a hog roast in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Greengate?
The closest is West Ham station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Power for lights in the evening
Greengate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, sunset in Greengate is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
