Wedding hog roast in Meadvale, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee and vow renewals and blessings.
In Meadvale, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At a December wedding in Meadvale, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Permission for outside catering
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Meadvale
Can you do a hog roast in Earlswood Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Meadvale?
Earlswood (Surrey) station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
