How our wedding hog roast works in Tandridge
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include relaxed, low-key weddings and wedding breakfasts, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads.
Rural weddings around Tandridge 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. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

- Permission for outside catering

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Tandridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
