Wedding hog roast in West Barnes
About our wedding hog roast in West Barnes
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Typical bookings include relaxed, low-key weddings and home weddings, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Couples in West Barnes often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Golden-hour photos in West Barnes at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning help
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in West Barnes
We are gathering after a service at Holy Cross: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to West Barnes?
West Barnes has its own station: Motspur Park station.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Do you cover West Barnes?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including West Barnes and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
West Barnes 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
