Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Woolmer Hill
Is Woolmer Hill close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-December sunset in Woolmer Hill comes at about 4:00pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast turkey
A carved roast turkey makes it feel like Christmas, with the pork and crackling too.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
