Wedding hog roast near Shoreditch

For a wedding in Shoreditch, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In Shoreditch, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
