Wedding hog roast in Maida Vale, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Maida Vale suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We are often asked to cater evening receptions and marquee receptions, serving carved roast pork, crackling and salads.
London weddings around Maida Vale often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Common questions in Maida Vale
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter Elgin Avenue: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if our house in Maida Vale has no side access?
Often, 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.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
