Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Abinger Common
Is Abinger Common too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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 will follow the site rules.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Who books corporate hog roast in Abinger Common?
It’s quick to serve once carving starts, ideal for a set break.
