Wedding hog roast near Willesden
For a relaxed wedding in Willesden, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. We serve carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and typical bookings are for relaxed, low-key weddings and blessings and renewals.
Couples in Willesden frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding. Evening food at a Willesden 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.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Willesden questions
Could you cook in Roundwood Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Willesden has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you cover Willesden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Willesden and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
