Wedding hog roast near Hatch End
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Hatch End suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it is blessings and renewals and second-day get-togethers, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Couples in Hatch End 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 staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Hatch End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Hatch End: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hatch End?
The closest is Hatch End station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Pinner Baptist Church?
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 do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll sort the details with them.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
