How our wedding hog roast works in Cobham
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. For small, informal weddings and the main wedding meal, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and salads for your guests.
In Cobham, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Perfect for your wedding in Cobham
There are choices for guests who do not eat pork.
People around Cobham book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Post-wedding gatherings
- Vow renewals and blessings
- Relaxed, low-key weddings
- Marquee weddings
Marrying at Church of St Andrew? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Golden-hour photos in Cobham at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day

Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
Why choose a hog roast in Cobham?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
