About our wedding hog roast in Albury Heath
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. For marquee receptions and rustic barn receptions, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Rural weddings around Albury Heath have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
FAQs for Albury Heath
What’s the nearest station to Albury Heath?
Gomshall station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
How far is Albury Heath from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wedding in Albury Heath, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
