Planning an event in Elmbridge Village?
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. 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, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with individual food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Travel to Elmbridge Village
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
