About our wedding hog roast in Hinchley Wood
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. On the menu are carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for marquee weddings and farm weddings.
A farm or garden wedding near Hinchley Wood suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Questions from Hinchley Wood
Which station is closest to Hinchley Wood?
Hinchley Wood station, in Hinchley Wood itself.
We are gathering after a service at Hinchley Wood Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Planning photos in Stokes Field? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first. Historic houses near Hinchley Wood include Hampton Court Palace (1.9 miles north) and The Homewood (2.9 miles south-west).

Local streets include Dorchester Close, Meadow Close and Manor Drive; a wedding on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Close by, we cover weddings in Weston Green (1 mile north-west), Thames Ditton (1 mile north), Ditton Hill (1 mile east), Long Ditton (1 mile north-east) and Claygate (1 mile south).

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a summer wedding in Hinchley Wood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

A hog roast or other catering?
