Wedding hog roast for West Hackney
Wedding hog roast in West Hackney, carved to order
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and intimate weddings, serving salads, crackling and carved roast pork.
In West Hackney, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. 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.

- Region
- Greater London
- From the roaster

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At a December wedding in West Hackney, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

West Hackney questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Stoke Newington Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Power for lights in the evening
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
West Hackney is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
What affects the price in West Hackney
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
