Wedding hog roast for Walthamstow Village
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How our wedding hog roast works in Walthamstow Village
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include blessings and renewals and wedding breakfasts with sides, with salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
In Walthamstow Village, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll work through it together. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, sunset in Walthamstow Village is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Permission for outside catering
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
As a London location, Walthamstow Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
