FAQs for Minster Lovell
Is Minster Lovell close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint Kenelm?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will sort the details with them.
Do you come to Minster Lovell?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Minster Lovell and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

How it works
