About our wedding hog roast in Laleham
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee and weddings in a family garden.
For a smaller place like Laleham, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What else we do in Laleham
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Laleham

For event organisers in Laleham
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Lighting for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- New potatoes

- Vegan option (Ve)

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Laleham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Why choose a hog roast in Laleham?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Laleham questions
Which station is closest to Laleham?
Staines station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
