Wedding hog roast in The Chart
How our wedding hog roast works in The Chart
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Popular choices include salads, crackling and carved roast pork, and we are often booked for marquee receptions and post-wedding gatherings.
There is something special about a country wedding near The Chart, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Why choose a hog roast in The Chart?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in The Chart

Nearby historic houses include Chartwell (1.9 miles east) and Quebec House (2 miles north-east). Grand venues like these normally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before you book. Marrying at St Andrew's? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.
We cover weddings in every part of the RH8 postcode area. Streets in the area include Stoneleigh Road, St Andrews Way and Ridlands Lane, and a wedding on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The closest is Hurst Green station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.

What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cater in The Chart?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Travel to The Chart
- Time on site
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Evening food at a The Chart wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
