Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Travel to Slinfold
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Slinfold: your questions answered
Is Slinfold close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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’ll follow the site rules.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens if it’s dark?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
