Wedding hog roast in Holbrook, slow-roasted on site
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. For wedding breakfasts and weddings in a family garden, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Holbrook, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Which station is closest to Holbrook?
Warnham station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?

What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Holbrook, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
