- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- 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.

Wedding hog roast near Newdigate
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. For marquee receptions and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling and more.
Rural weddings around Newdigate 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Why choose a hog roast in Newdigate?

Newdigate: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Newdigate Brickworks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll sort the details with them.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Power for lights in the evening
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
