Wedding hog roast in Thursley
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Wedding hog roast near Thursley
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening receptions and rustic barn receptions.
Rural weddings around Thursley have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Common questions in Thursley
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Thursley from London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you come to Thursley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Thursley and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter weddings in Thursley are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
