Wedding hog roast for East Clandon
Wedding hog roast in East Clandon, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it is second-day get-togethers and rustic barn receptions, we will put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork and more.
A wedding in a small place like East Clandon frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for East Clandon
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like East Clandon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For event organisers in East Clandon
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
