Maryland questions
What’s the nearest station to Maryland?
Maryland has its own station: Stratford (London) station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Maryland?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How our wedding hog roast works in Maryland
For a relaxed wedding in Maryland, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Popular choices include new potatoes, carved roast pork and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee and blessings and renewals.
For a wedding in Maryland, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Golden-hour photos in Maryland at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
