Couples in Walton-on-Thames frequently keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. A hog roast fits that style. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Common questions in Walton-on-Thames
Is Walton-on-Thames close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
