Wotton in December: what to know
Wotton is about 3 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Wotton and the surrounding area. Wotton is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cater. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 8 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St John the Evangelist draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is Gomshall station, about 2.4 miles west. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Wotton; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We bring hog roasts to Christmas parties all over the RH5 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Sheephouse Green, Sheephouse Lane and Hollow Lane, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For Christmas parties just outside Wotton, we cover Westcott (1 mile north-east), Ranmore Common (2 miles north-east), Mid Holmwood (3 miles east), Dorking (3 miles north-east) and North Holmwood (3 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (8 miles west), Woking (11 miles north-west), Epsom (10 miles north-east), Horley (10 miles east), Redhill (10 miles east) and Ewell (11 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Abinger Castle (1.2 miles south-west) and Mesolithic Museum (1.3 miles south-west). Open spaces near Wotton include Silent Pool and Leith Hill.
A closer look at the menu
Roast turkey
A carved roast turkey makes it feel like Christmas, served alongside the pork and crackling.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
