Slow-roasted pork in Harlesden
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wedding in Harlesden, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.

- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.

Wedding hog roast in Harlesden, carved to order
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. For the day after the wedding and evening food after the first dance, we will put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Couples in Harlesden often 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Space, access and the venue

- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Lighting for evening service
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
As a London location, Harlesden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Questions from Harlesden
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Souls?
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. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Harlesden?
Willesden Junction station, in Harlesden itself.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you cover Harlesden?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Harlesden and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
