Wedding hog roast for Farley Green
Wedding hog roast in Farley Green, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it’s wedding breakfasts and blessings and renewals, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Farley Green, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At a December wedding in Farley Green, 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.

- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Farley Green: your questions answered
Is Farley Green close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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 will follow the site rules.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
