Common questions in Pinewood Village
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Pinewood Village from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens if it’s 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.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Pinewood Village
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Pinewood Village, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. For lights switch-on evenings and winter fairs and markets, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers and more.
At a festive party in Pinewood Village, hot rolls from the roaster go down well. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in Pinewood Village is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
We pack up whatever the weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Bordon Junior School, suit a hog roast. Train travellers will want to know that Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 4.1 miles north, is the nearest station.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
