Questions from Surrey Canal
Can you cater after a service at St Katharine with St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Surrey Canal has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in Surrey Canal are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.

Why choose a hog roast in Surrey Canal?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
