Cramhurst is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Cramhurst to Guildford (about 7 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St John the Evangelist's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to Cramhurst
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A lunchtime Christmas party in Cramhurst is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Cramhurst questions
Do you come out to small places like Cramhurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Rodborough Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
