What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Winter weddings in East Molesey are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Questions from East Molesey
Is East Molesey close to London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Cigarette Island Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
