About our wedding hog roast in Limehouse
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Limehouse suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We are frequently asked to cater small, informal weddings and vow renewals and blessings, serving new potatoes, carved roast pork and salads.
In Limehouse, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Limehouse
What if our house in Limehouse has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
We are gathering after a service at St Paul's Bow Common: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater in Limehouse?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Limehouse and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
For event organisers in Limehouse
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Limehouse, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
