A hog roast near Wapping
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Wapping, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.

- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Wedding hog roast in Wapping, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Typical bookings include anniversary vow renewals and rustic barn receptions, serving new potatoes, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
London weddings around Wapping often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Wapping hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- All the equipment comes with us
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
