Slow-roasted pork in Harringay
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re 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.
How our wedding hog roast works in Harringay
For a relaxed wedding in Harringay, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. We are often asked to cater weddings in a marquee and small, informal weddings, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
Couples in Harringay frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, sunset in Harringay is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare

- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
