Wedding hog roast in Woldingham, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. We serve new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater late-night wedding food and weddings in a family garden.
Rural weddings around Woldingham have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in Woldingham
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Woldingham questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Woldingham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
