About our wedding hog roast in Kings Cross
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and marquee receptions.
Couples in Kings Cross frequently 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. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Places near Kings Cross
What else we do in Kings Cross
Kings Cross: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Kings Cross?
Kings Cross has its own station: London Kings Cross station.
What if our house in Kings Cross has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
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’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
When do you start roasting?
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.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
As a London location, Kings Cross 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.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Crackling
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At a December wedding in Kings Cross, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
