Wedding hog roast in Sutton
Wedding hog roast in Sutton, slow-roasted on site
For a relaxed wedding in Sutton, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Popular choices include carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater the day after the wedding and vow renewals and blessings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Sutton, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:

Questions to ask before you book
- Travel and any London charges
- Allergen information for every dish
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How many staff will carve and serve
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. At a December wedding in Sutton, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
