Wedding hog roast for Redhill
How our wedding hog roast works in Redhill
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee and barn and farm weddings, with salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
A wedding in Redhill might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That’s ideal for a hog roast: we roast outdoors while the reception gets going. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

FAQs for Redhill
Is Redhill close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Matthew'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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
For event organisers in Redhill
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

Golden-hour photos in Redhill at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
