Wedding hog roast in Lower Green
Wedding hog roast in Lower Green, carved to order
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. Whether it’s rustic barn receptions and evening food after the first dance, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes and more.
A wedding in a small place like Lower Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Giggs Hill Green can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first. If you’re marrying at a church near Lower Green, such as Church of All Saints, and holding the reception nearby, the hog roast can be cooking while you say your vows.

Before you choose a spot

- Step-free access for our equipment
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Lower Green questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Lower Green?
Esher station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Lower Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
