Wedding hog roast in Waterloo
About our wedding hog roast in Waterloo
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings, serving carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Waterloo often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Where the roaster can go in Waterloo
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Power for lights in the evening
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
As a London location, Waterloo 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.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
