Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Witley in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day

Common questions in Witley
What’s the nearest station to Witley?
Milford (Surrey) station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Rodborough Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
