Wedding hog roast in Old Woking, carved to order
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. Typical bookings include farm weddings and weddings in a family garden, serving new potatoes, carved roast pork and salads.
Near Old Woking, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
