Wedding hog roast in Mapesbury
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Permission for outside catering
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
Mapesbury 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How our wedding hog roast works in Mapesbury
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We are often asked to cater rustic barn receptions and vow renewals and blessings, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Questions from Mapesbury
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Mapesbury?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you come to Mapesbury?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Mapesbury and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
