Wedding hog roast in Haslemere
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How our wedding hog roast works in Haslemere
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling, and typical bookings are for blessings and renewals and small, informal weddings.
In Haslemere, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Why choose a hog roast in Haslemere?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer wedding in Haslemere, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Questions from Haslemere
How far is Haslemere from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Haslemere?
Haslemere has its own station: Haslemere station.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
