About our wedding hog roast in Knaphill
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. We serve crackling, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for small, informal weddings and anniversary vow renewals.
Weddings in a place like Knaphill frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
FAQs for Knaphill
Is Knaphill close to London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Knaphill?
The closest is Brookwood station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Evening food at a Knaphill 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.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
