Sheerwater questions
What’s the nearest station to Sheerwater?
West Byfleet station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Sheerwater?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
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.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Winter weddings in Sheerwater are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
