Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

How our wedding hog roast works in Mousehill
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We are frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and relaxed, low-key weddings, with halloumi skewers, crackling and new potatoes.
Rural weddings around Mousehill have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Common questions in Mousehill
Can you do a hog roast in Rodborough Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Mousehill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Mousehill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Mousehill and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Mousehill weddings: local tips
Mousehill is about 6 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Hosts in Mousehill book us for weddings of all sizes. We cater 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Mousehill to Guildford (about 6 miles away).
Rodborough Common can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first. Marrying at St John the Evangelist's Church? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Mousehill, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Check the cooking spot with the venue.
For weddings in GU8, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Green Lane, The Cedars and Moushill Lane; a wedding on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to weddings in Milford (1 mile north-east), Cramhurst (1 mile south), Ockford Ridge (1 mile south-east), Witley (1 mile south) and Tuesley (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Guildford (6 miles north-east), Woking (11 miles north), Camberley (12 miles north), Farnham (7 miles north-west), Dorking (15 miles east) and Frimley (11 miles north).

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or GU8 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At a December wedding in Mousehill, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
