Landmarks near Guildford

Locally, our bookings take us close to Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School and the streets around them. Also close by are Church of St John the Evangelist (within half a mile east), Stoke Park (less than half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (less than half a mile south-east). For guests coming by rail, the closest station is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Within reach you’ll find Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Hog roast days across Surrey

Across Surrey, care homes, retirement housing and day centres book hog roast days, from Guildford, Woking and Camberley to small villages. Parts of Surrey are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.

Guildford: With the A3 and A25 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach. Volunteers from churches such as Church of St John the Evangelist sometimes help at care home events, and a hog roast day can bring everyone together. In summer, Guildford has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

Allergies and dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Stuffing usually contains gluten
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.

Ask about china.

Space, access and the venue

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:

An activities lead or manager as contact
Approval from the home
Seating for residents

What we serve, dish by dish

Roast pork

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

What a hog roast costs

Surrey questions

What space does the roaster need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.

How do you handle allergies?

We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing typically contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.

Do we need our own staff?

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

Can we just hire the roaster?

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

What about coeliacs?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
