Wedding hog roast for Seale
Wedding hog roast in Seale, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for second-day get-togethers and weddings in a family garden.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Seale, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Occasions we serve in Seale
Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options mean every guest is looked after.

Questions from Seale
Is Seale close to London?
About 33 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Seale wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
