Questions from Busbridge
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
How far is Busbridge from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Site access
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

Planning help
For event organisers in Busbridge
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Where the roaster can go in Busbridge
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short route for our equipment
