Slow-roasted pork in Hersham
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Wedding hog roast in Hersham, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re frequently asked to cater late-night wedding food and blessings and renewals, with rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes.
Weddings in a place like Hersham frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Working with your venue

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
