FAQs for Northmoor
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Denys: can you cater?
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.
How far is Northmoor from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Wedding hog roast in Northmoor, carved to order
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include evening food after the first dance and wedding breakfasts with sides, serving crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Northmoor have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wedding in Northmoor, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Lighting for evening service
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
