Wedding hog roast in South Park
How our wedding hog roast works in South Park
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around South Park suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are crackling, salads and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and barn and farm weddings.
In South Park, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Common questions in South Park
Could you cook in Castle Grounds?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at St Luke's?
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. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you come to South Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, South Park and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Space, access and the venue

- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding in South Park. In South Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
