Catered or do it yourself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Wedding hog roast near Virginia Water
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Virginia Water: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. Whether it’s the main wedding meal and rustic barn receptions, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Questions from Virginia Water
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Virginia Water?
Virginia Water has its own station: Virginia Water station.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
