Your questions about a hog roast day in Abinger Hammer
What’s the nearest station to Abinger Hammer?
The closest is Gomshall station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Abinger Hammer?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer hog roast day in Abinger Hammer, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
