Wedding hog roast in Pirbright, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it is wedding breakfasts and weddings in a marquee, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and new potatoes for your guests.
Rural weddings around Pirbright 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. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
What affects the price in Pirbright
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Pirbright
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Pirbright, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
