Our Christmas hog roast in Surrey

For a work Christmas party in Surrey, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We serve roast potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for christmas markets and year-end thank-yous.

A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready.

It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
We check the venue and send a price.
We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.

Cost

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Around 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 (within 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. Well-known places in the area include Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Open spaces near Guildford include Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Festive bookings in Surrey

Across Surrey, festive bookings range from works car parks to village halls. Tell us about lighting and access. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Surrey, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Guildford: Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist can book a hog roast stall. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Sandfield Primary School, suit a hog roast. In Guildford, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

A hog roast compared with other options

Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better.

Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Send the allergen list round before the party

If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.

Ask about gluten-free rolls.

What we serve, dish by dish

Crackling

Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

What affects the price in Surrey

We work out each quote from:

How many people are eating
Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Crockery choices

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What we need to know

Here’s what we’ll ask:

Allergies we should know about
Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
What the outdoor space is like
The date and time of the event

Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

Space, access and the venue

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:

Indoor space for eating
Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark

FAQs for Surrey

Can the food be served indoors?

We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.

How much room do you need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

What happens if it is dark?

After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

Can you do gluten-free?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

Is there a non-pork option?

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
