A hog roast near Norwood New Town
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Wedding hog roast near Norwood New Town
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it is marquee receptions and home weddings, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and crackling for your guests.
London weddings around Norwood New Town often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, 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.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
