A hog roast near Byfleet
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Wedding hog roast in Byfleet, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. Popular choices include new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and the day after the wedding.
In Byfleet, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What else we do in Byfleet
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer wedding in Byfleet, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
