Wedding hog roast in Stanwell, carved to order
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. For relaxed, low-key weddings and the main wedding meal, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads.
A farm or garden wedding near Stanwell suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Golden-hour photos in Stanwell at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Stanwell questions

The closest is Ashford Surrey station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
