How our wedding hog roast works in Old Malden
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Old Malden: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts with sides and second-day get-togethers, serving new potatoes, carved roast pork and crackling.
Weddings in a place like Old Malden often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Where the roaster can go in Old Malden
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card

We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.

FAQs for Old Malden

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Roughly 11 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Old Malden, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- 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.
Before we arrive
