Wedding hog roast for Paddington Green
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Paddington Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

What else we do in Paddington Green
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A way in for the roaster
As a London location, Paddington Green 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Paddington Green questions
Can you do a hog roast in Kensington Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary on Paddington Green Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cater in Paddington Green?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
