Book a hog roast in Stoneleigh
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, the light in Stoneleigh goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Request thin slices
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Serving on plates is often easier.

Common questions in Stoneleigh
Could you cook in Hogsmill LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How far is Stoneleigh from London?
About 11 miles from central London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How do you handle allergies?
Allergen details are provided.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Sign-off from management
- A named contact on the day
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
