Wedding hog roast near Monken Hadley
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. On the menu are salads, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and marquee receptions.
London weddings around Monken Hadley frequently 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, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
For event organisers in Monken Hadley
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Things that change the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. At a December wedding in Monken Hadley, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or EN5 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Lighting for evening service
Monken Hadley 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Monken Hadley: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in Monken Hadley has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
