Wedding hog roast in Newington Green, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Popular choices include carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for weddings in a marquee and garden weddings at home.
Couples in Newington Green frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Questions from Newington Green
What’s the nearest station to Newington Green?
Canonbury station, in Newington Green itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Newington Green?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you come to Newington Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Newington Green and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening food at a Newington Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
