How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Highgate, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Space well clear of tents and trees
As a London location, Highgate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Highgate
Can you do a hog roast in Whittington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Highgate?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
