Wedding hog roast for Stanwell Moor
Wedding hog roast near Stanwell Moor
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and evening food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like Stanwell Moor often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Stanwell Moor 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. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

FAQs for Stanwell Moor
Can you do a hog roast in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to Stanwell Moor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Stanwell Moor and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Stanwell Moor hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
