Wedding hog roast in Paddington, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings.
In Paddington, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll agree the details with them. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Paddington
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Royal Parks of London?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. At a December wedding in Paddington, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us a contact number for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- A way in for the roaster
As a London location, Paddington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
