Wedding hog roast near Lea Bridge
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Lea Bridge: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Typical bookings include second-day get-togethers and evening receptions, with spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Lea Bridge often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For a summer wedding in Lea Bridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
