Slow-roasted pork in Leatherhead
Wedding hog roast in Leatherhead, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Leatherhead. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For the main wedding meal and farm weddings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb and more.
In a town like Leatherhead, a ceremony and then a marquee or hall reception is a classic combination. That suits a hog roast perfectly: the roaster cooks outside while guests celebrate. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Leatherhead, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
