Wedding hog roast for Old Dean
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Old Dean
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose

About our wedding hog roast in Old Dean
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include farm weddings and intimate weddings, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In Old Dean, 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. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Golden-hour photos in Old Dean at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- 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.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Old Dean questions
Which station is closest to Old Dean?
Camberley station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Old Dean from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
