Planning an event in Bisley?
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Evening food at a Bisley wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Getting a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU24 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

What’s the nearest station to Bisley?
Brookwood station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.
Do you cover Bisley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Bisley and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission for outside catering
- Power for lights in the evening
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What else we do in Bisley
For event organisers in Bisley
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
