Wedding hog roast in Pitch Place, slow-roasted on site
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for wedding breakfasts and vow renewals and blessings.
Near Pitch Place, weddings are often 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. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Pitch Place questions
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Pitch Place too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
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. Send your date and we will check.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed

- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
