How our wedding hog roast works in Bletchingley
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for the day after the wedding and home weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Bletchingley, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Golden-hour photos in Bletchingley at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

A closer look at the menu

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Carved to order by a chef
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give final numbers in good time
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A way in for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
