Slow-roasted pork in Norbury
Wedding hog roast in Norbury, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We’re frequently asked to cater evening receptions and relaxed, low-key weddings, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
Couples in Norbury often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. 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.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At a December wedding in Norbury, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Common questions in Norbury
Can you do a hog roast in Grangewood Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Norbury?
Norbury station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
