Wedding hog roast near Pimlico
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include anniversary vow renewals and weddings in a family garden, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads.
London weddings around Pimlico 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, so check with the venue early. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Our staff serve and clear

Pimlico questions
We are gathering after a service at St Gabriel's: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Pimlico?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A way in for the roaster
Pimlico 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Roast or jacket potatoes

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
