Wedding hog roast for Homerton
Wedding hog roast near Homerton
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Homerton suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for intimate weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
Couples in Homerton often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

- Served at the time you choose
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Homerton
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Light near the carving station after dark
As a London location, Homerton 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Spit-roast lamb

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Homerton
We’re gathering after a service at United Reformed Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Homerton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you cover Homerton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Homerton and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
