Wedding hog roast in Dippenhall, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. Whether it is weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts, we can cook rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Dippenhall frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Common questions in Dippenhall
Which station is closest to Dippenhall?
Farnham station, about 1.8 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Dippenhall?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Dippenhall and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
