Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Questions from Elmbridge Village
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Elmbridge Village close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover Elmbridge Village?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wedding in Elmbridge Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or GU6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Permission for outside catering
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
