Wedding hog roast in Surrey: what to expect

Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Popular choices include crackling, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for marquee weddings and barn and farm weddings.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving.

  1. Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
  2. You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
  4. We set up and roast for hours.
  5. We carve and serve, then clear away.

Wedding settings across Surrey

Surrey offers town venues in Guildford, Woking and Camberley and countryside settings across 276 villages and hamlets. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Surrey, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.

Guildford: Guests coming by rail will want to know that the closest railway station is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. For outdoor photos, Pewley Hill is close by. At a December wedding in Guildford, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Planning the cooking spot

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
  • Space well clear of tents and trees
  • Lighting for evening service

Looking after everyone

Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Stuffing normally contains gluten
  • If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
  • Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
  • Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.

Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Should I cook it myself?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

For planners, venues and organisers

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

FAQs for Surrey

Do we need extra food?

For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.

What if things run late?

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

Do we need to provide electricity?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

What do people get?

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

How soon do you get booked up?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
