Wedding hog roast in Hornsey, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it’s rustic barn receptions and marquee weddings, we can cook crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Couples in Hornsey frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Hornsey questions
Could you cook in Priory Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hornsey?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Evening food at a Hornsey wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
