Wedding hog roast in Hadley, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We are often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and wedding breakfasts, serving crackling, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Hadley 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. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Questions from Hadley
Could you cook in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you come to Hadley?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, sunset in Hadley is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Why choose wedding hog roast in Hadley?
There are choices for guests who do not eat pork.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions in Hadley. Typical bookings include:
- Relaxed, low-key weddings
- Second-day get-togethers
- Marquee receptions
- Late-night wedding food

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why Hadley hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Step-free access for our equipment
Hadley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
