Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls

If it is a themed open day, tell us.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

FAQs for Artington
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Artington?
Shalford station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you need a car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
