Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Wedding hog roast near Northchapel
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Popular choices include new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads, and typical bookings are for relaxed, low-key weddings and post-wedding gatherings.
A wedding in a small place like Northchapel often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Questions from Northchapel
What’s the nearest station to Northchapel?
Haslemere station, about 4 miles north-west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- 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.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wedding in Northchapel, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
Getting a price
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: fill in our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
