Wedding hog roast in Christmas Pie, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We’re often asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and weddings in a family garden, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
Near Christmas Pie, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

FAQs for Christmas Pie
Is Christmas Pie too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you come to Christmas Pie?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Christmas Pie and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Christmas Pie hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Evening food at a Christmas Pie wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- A serving area close to where guests eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
