Wedding hog roast in Hackney Wick
Wedding hog roast in Hackney Wick, slow-roasted on site
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’s evening receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads.
In Hackney Wick, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Why choose wedding hog roast in Hackney Wick?
Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options mean every guest is looked after.
However big or small the event in Hackney Wick, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Wedding breakfasts
- Weddings in a family garden
- Anniversary vow renewals
- Second-day get-togethers
Marrying at St Mary of Eton? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.
Questions to ask before you book
- How dietary needs are handled
- Plates, china and cutlery
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
Questions from Hackney Wick
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary of Eton: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Hackney Wick has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At a December wedding in Hackney Wick, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- An itemised quote

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
