Rural weddings around Wonersh have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, 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. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Wonersh, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.

- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
