Wedding hog roast near Little Venice
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. For post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home, we will put together a menu of crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
In Little Venice, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will agree the details with them. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At a December wedding in Little Venice, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
