About our wedding hog roast in Sundridge
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include second-day get-togethers and evening receptions, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Rural weddings around Sundridge have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. At midsummer, sunset in Sundridge is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Sundridge
Is Sundridge close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
