About our wedding hog roast in The Burroughs
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We serve salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee receptions and evening food after the first dance.
In The Burroughs, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll agree the details with them. 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.

Common questions in The Burroughs
Can you do a hog roast in Hendon Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
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 check it with you before booking.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
A hog roast compared with other options
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why The Burroughs hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Light near the carving station after dark
The Burroughs 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.

The process

- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day

- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
