Wedding hog roast near Walthamstow
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater the day after the wedding and rustic barn receptions.
For a wedding in Walthamstow, 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. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Questions from Walthamstow
What if our house in Walthamstow has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There is no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Site access
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the cooking area

- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every wedding is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Walthamstow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Working with your venue
