How our wedding hog roast works in Northwood
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. We serve spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater evening receptions and home weddings.
In Northwood, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll work through it together. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening food at a Northwood wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
Northwood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Questions from Northwood
Could you cook in King George V Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Emmanuel Church: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
