A hog roast near Molesey
Wedding hog roast near Molesey
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re frequently booked for marquee weddings and the main wedding meal.
In Molesey, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why choose a hog roast in Molesey?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Molesey, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
