Wedding hog roast for South Merstham
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evening food at a South Merstham wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Wedding hog roast near South Merstham
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for late-night wedding food and marquee receptions.
Weddings in a place like South Merstham frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Why choose a hog roast in South Merstham?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves a lot of people fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
