- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A named contact for the day
Surrey Canal is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Timed around your day

What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Daytime open days in Surrey Canal are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
