Wedding hog roast near Hampstead
For a relaxed wedding in Hampstead, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. For wedding breakfasts and blessings and renewals, we can cook carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
Couples in Hampstead frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
For event organisers in Hampstead
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
FAQs for Hampstead
Can you cater after a service at St John-at-Hampstead church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Hampstead?
Finchley Road & Frognal station, in Hampstead itself.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you cater in Hampstead?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hampstead and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Hampstead, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests
