Slow-roasted pork in Pyrford
How our wedding hog roast works in Pyrford
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. On the menu are crackling, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater second-day get-togethers and small, informal weddings.
For a smaller place like Pyrford, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Pyrford: your questions answered
Could you cook in White Rose Lane?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
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.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Pyrford, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
