Wedding hog roast in Plaistow, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and wedding breakfasts with sides, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Couples in Plaistow frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Plaistow: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Memorial Community Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if our house in Plaistow has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Plaistow 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
As a London location, Plaistow 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Halloumi skewers (V)

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
