About our wedding hog roast in Mile End
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We’re frequently asked to cater marquee receptions and farm weddings, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads.
In Mile End, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will work through it together. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A serving area close to where guests eat
As a London location, Mile End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, sunset in Mile End is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
