Wedding hog roast in High Barnet
How our wedding hog roast works in High Barnet
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. For marquee weddings and rustic barn receptions, we will put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and carved roast pork and more.
Couples in High Barnet 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 cannot offer, so ask early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What comes off the roaster

Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, sunset in High Barnet is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.

Questions from High Barnet
Can you do a hog roast in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to High Barnet?
Hadley Wood station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
High Barnet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
