Catered or do it yourself?

About our wedding hog roast in Cores End
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. We serve carved roast pork, new potatoes and salads, and we’re frequently booked for weddings in a marquee and weddings in a family garden.
Near Cores End, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

FAQs for Cores End
Can you cater after a service at Cores End United Reformed Church?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Cores End from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
