Common questions in Pixham
Is Pixham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cover Pixham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Pixham and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wedding in Pixham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.

Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Lighting for evening service
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Pixham hosts choose us
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
