Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Bunce Common: your questions answered
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will confirm how booking and payment work.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
