Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Wedding hog roast near Silvertown
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Whether it is anniversary vow renewals and rustic barn receptions, we will put together a menu of crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
London weddings around Silvertown often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer wedding in Silvertown, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally 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.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Silvertown
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
Silvertown 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.

Silvertown questions
What if our house in Silvertown has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at St Barnabas' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
