Wedding hog roast in Wallend
About our wedding hog roast in Wallend
For a relaxed wedding in Wallend, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. We are often asked to cater marquee receptions and anniversary vow renewals, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Wallend frequently 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 cannot offer, so ask early. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Golden-hour photos in Wallend 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 start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- 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.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
