How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in Pyrford Village, 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. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Questions from Pyrford Village
Which station is closest to Pyrford Village?
The closest is West Byfleet station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Nicholas's Church: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Do you cover Pyrford Village?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Pyrford Village and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
