How our wedding hog roast works in Upper Hale
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Whether it is garden weddings at home and barn and farm weddings, we can cook salads, new potatoes and carved roast pork and more.
In Upper Hale, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. At a December wedding in Upper Hale, it is 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.

FAQs for Upper Hale
Is Upper Hale close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Upper Hale?
Farnham station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
