Slow-roasted pork in Plaistow
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way in for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Space well clear of tents and trees
Plaistow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Wedding hog roast in Plaistow, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Couples in Plaistow frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
Questions from Plaistow
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Plaistow?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary’s Church?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wedding in Plaistow, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- 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 set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
