Wedding hog roast in Bishop's Sutton, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for weddings in a family garden and post-wedding gatherings.
Rural weddings around Bishop's Sutton 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. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Lighting for evening service

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

For event organisers in Bishop's Sutton
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evening food at a Bishop's Sutton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Questions from Bishop's Sutton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Bishop's Sutton from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
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 you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
