Wedding hog roast near Tadworth
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Whether it’s the main wedding meal and weddings in a marquee, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In Tadworth, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Golden-hour photos in Tadworth at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
