Wedding hog roast near West Molesey
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include marquee weddings and the day after the wedding, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
For a smaller place like West Molesey, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Golden-hour photos in West Molesey at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
