Wedding hog roast in Ewell
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At a December wedding in Ewell, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, 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 fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Wedding hog roast in Ewell, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Whether it is farm weddings and marquee receptions, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork and more.
Couples in Ewell frequently keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Ewell questions
Do you cater at venues 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.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Do you cover Ewell?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Ewell and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Permission for outside catering
