Slow-roasted pork in Hanwell
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
About our wedding hog roast in Hanwell
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Whether it is vow renewals and blessings and relaxed, low-key weddings, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
London weddings around Hanwell frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Common questions in Hanwell
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mellitus?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Hanwell has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you cover Hanwell?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hanwell and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
