Wedding hog roast near Mayes Green
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. Whether it’s the main wedding meal and marquee weddings, we can cook carved roast pork, salads and new potatoes for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Mayes Green, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Mayes Green
Can you do a hog roast in Wallis Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Mayes Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Mayes Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Mayes Green and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Mayes Green, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to other evening food, carving serves plenty of people fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
