Wedding hog roast for Holloway
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wedding in Holloway, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Common questions in Holloway
Can you cater after a service at St Joseph and St Padarn's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Holloway?
Drayton Park station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Permission for outside catering
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
As a London location, Holloway is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
