Wedding hog roast in Wennington, slow-roasted on site
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Whether it is marquee receptions and home weddings, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, new potatoes and salads for your guests.
Couples in Wennington 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 can’t offer, so ask early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Winter weddings in Wennington are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early

FAQs for Wennington

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
