Wedding hog roast in Ditton Hill
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Wedding hog roast in Ditton Hill, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and rustic barn receptions.
For a wedding in Ditton Hill, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll work through it together. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in Ditton Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Ditton Hill
Which station is closest to Ditton Hill?
Surbiton station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
As a London location, Ditton Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
