About our wedding hog roast in Chipstead
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it’s weddings in a marquee and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook carved roast pork, crackling and new potatoes.
For a wedding in Chipstead, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Chipstead hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Lighting for evening service
Chipstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Questions from Chipstead
What if our house in Chipstead has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What else we do in Chipstead
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wedding in Chipstead, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
