A hog roast near Whitehill
How our wedding hog roast works in Whitehill
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it is garden weddings at home and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a smaller place like Whitehill, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. 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.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels special. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Common questions in Whitehill
Which station is closest to Whitehill?
Liphook station, about 3.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
For event organisers in Whitehill
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Whitehill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
