Wedding hog roast in Stoke Newington
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
Stoke Newington 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.

Wedding hog roast near Stoke Newington
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include farm weddings and small, informal weddings, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Couples in Stoke Newington often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Questions from Stoke Newington
Can you do a hog roast in Abney Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Stoke Newington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
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 do not offer halal meat.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Golden-hour photos in Stoke Newington at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
