Book a hog roast in Send
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Wedding hog roast in Send, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For wedding breakfasts and weddings in a family garden, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads and more.
For a smaller place like Send, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Evening food at a Send wedding frequently 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.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.

- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Common questions in Send
What’s the nearest station to Send?
The closest is Clandon station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at St William of York: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you cover Send?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Send and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Spit-roast lamb
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our prices page or the cost guide.
