About our wedding hog roast in Upper Clapton
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include second-day get-togethers and evening receptions, with salads, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
For a wedding in Upper Clapton, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. 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 leave the spot tidy when we go.

For event organisers in Upper Clapton
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding in Upper Clapton. In Upper Clapton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A way in for the roaster
As a London location, Upper Clapton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 before you book.
What we serve
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
FAQs for Upper Clapton
Could you cook in Springfield Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Upper Clapton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
