For a wedding in Roundshaw, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Roundshaw: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Roundshaw?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
We are gathering after a service at St. Paul'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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will sort the details with them.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Permission for outside catering
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
Roundshaw 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
