Where the roaster can go in Herne Hill
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
Herne Hill 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.

Wedding hog roast near Herne Hill
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. We are frequently asked to cater small, informal weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
Couples in Herne Hill frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Herne Hill
What’s the nearest station to Herne Hill?
Herne Hill has its own station: North Dulwich station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Herne Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
