Wedding hog roast in Iping, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include marquee weddings and anniversary vow renewals, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Iping have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us

Iping questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Iping?
Liphook station, about 5 miles north of the centre.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Golden-hour photos in Iping at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
