Wedding hog roast in West Hendon, slow-roasted on site
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 relaxed, low-key weddings, serving salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In West Hendon, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will work through it together. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a West Hendon wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

West Hendon questions
What if our house in West Hendon has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in West Hendon Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Lighting for evening service
As a London location, West Hendon 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.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
