About our wedding hog roast in Somers Town
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include marquee weddings and small, informal weddings, with salads, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In Somers Town, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll work through it together. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

What affects the price in Somers Town
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
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, which is built into the price.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Somers Town
Could you cook in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Somers Town?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater in Somers Town?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Where the roaster can go in Somers Town
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A way in for the roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
As a London location, Somers Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
