Rural businesses around Merstham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
A hog roast compared with other options
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
