A hog roast near South Hampstead
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
South Hampstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How our wedding hog roast works in South Hampstead
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Whether it’s marquee weddings and evening food after the first dance, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
Couples in South Hampstead often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in South Hampstead
Which station is closest to South Hampstead?
South Hampstead station, in South Hampstead itself.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Souls?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, sunset in South Hampstead is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
