Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding in Hoxton. For a summer wedding in Hoxton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for evening service
- A way in for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
As a London location, Hoxton 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.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Hoxton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Hoxton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
How long does the roast need?
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.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
