About our wedding hog roast in Epsom
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Whether it’s second-day get-togethers and blessings and renewals, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, salads and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
A wedding in Epsom might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That’s ideal for a hog roast: the roaster cooks outside while guests celebrate. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Epsom
We’re gathering after a service at St. Barnabas Church: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Epsom?
Epsom has its own station: Epsom station.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Where the roaster can go in Epsom
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Permission for outside catering
- Step-free access for our equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wedding in Epsom, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
