Wedding hog roast in Heston, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts with sides and second-day get-togethers, with new potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In Heston, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will agree the details with them. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planners, venues and businesses

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Heston
Could you cook in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Heston?
Southall station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
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.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Should I cook it myself?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Heston, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally 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 is 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.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
