Book a hog roast in Little Ilford
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wedding in Little Ilford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Little Ilford questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Little Ilford?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Little Ilford?
Manor Park station, in Little Ilford itself.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Lighting for evening service
- Permission for outside catering
Little Ilford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 before you book.
