Betchworth questions
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Brockham Limeworks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you come to Betchworth?
Yes, Betchworth is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. A lunchtime Christmas party in Betchworth is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Vehicle access close by
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
