How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Headstone, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- 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.

Headstone questions
Can you cater after a service at Hatch End Free Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Headstone?
Headstone Lane station, in Headstone itself.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Where the roaster can go in Headstone
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Power for lights in the evening
Headstone is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
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.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
