Wedding hog roast for Charlwood
About our wedding hog roast in Charlwood
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts with sides and farm weddings, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Near Charlwood, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Questions from Charlwood
Can you cater after a service at Monkwood Mission Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Charlwood from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, sunset in Charlwood is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
