Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

How our wedding hog roast works in Cranleigh
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We are frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and weddings in a marquee, with carved roast pork, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
In Cranleigh, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
