Planning an event in The Hale?
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About our wedding hog roast in The Hale
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and anniversary vow renewals, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
London weddings around The Hale often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In The Hale, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- 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

The Hale: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at John Keble Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Stoneyfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
