Book a hog roast in Horsell
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How our wedding hog roast works in Horsell
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. Whether it’s anniversary vow renewals and home weddings, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
A farm or garden wedding near Horsell suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Horsell wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
