You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Charlwood
Is Charlwood close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
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.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
