About our wedding hog roast in Tongham
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is rustic barn receptions and weddings in a marquee, we can cook carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For a smaller place like Tongham, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Tongham, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Tongham
Which station is closest to Tongham?
The closest is Ash station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
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.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you come to Tongham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Tongham and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
