Wedding hog roast for Lower Holloway
Wedding hog roast near Lower Holloway
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. Typical bookings include relaxed, low-key weddings and evening receptions, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads.
In Lower Holloway, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At a December wedding in Lower Holloway, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lower Holloway
Can you do a hog roast in St Mary Magdalene Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at St David?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
