Wedding hog roast in Shepherd's Bush, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and weddings in a family garden, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads.
For a wedding in Shepherd's Bush, 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 we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Why choose a hog roast in Shepherd's Bush?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Shepherd's Bush hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Shepherd's Bush: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Hammersmith Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Shepherd's Bush?
Shepherds Bush station, in Shepherd's Bush itself.
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.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Is mains power needed?

Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
