Wedding hog roast in Seven Dials, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Seven Dials. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Popular choices include new potatoes, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and we’re frequently booked for home weddings and farm weddings.
Weddings in a place like Seven Dials frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, sunset in Seven Dials is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
