Minster Lovell: your questions answered
Is Minster Lovell too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of Saint Kenelm: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Where the roaster can go in Minster Lovell

- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing

- Spit-roast lamb

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A clear quote with everything listed
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
