About our wedding hog roast in Purbrook
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Popular choices include salads, carved roast pork and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts with sides.
A wedding in Purbrook might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That’s ideal for a hog roast: the roaster cooks outside while guests celebrate. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Questions from Purbrook
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Purbrook close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Catered or do it yourself?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
