Oxshott: your questions answered
Could you cook in Claygate Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
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’ll follow the site rules.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A named contact for the day
- Access through the site gates
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees

What affects the price in Oxshott

- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your staff event in Oxshott. After-work summer events in Oxshott have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
