Book a hog roast in Cranleigh
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Cranleigh is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

About our film set catering in Cranleigh
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. Whether it’s historic house shoots and lunch at base, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Shoots around Cranleigh often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.
Where the roaster can go in Cranleigh
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from kit
- Flat ground at the unit base
- One contact for the day
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The menu, dish by dish

Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
China crockery is available on request.
Why choose a hog roast in Cranleigh?
Compared with ordering in, we’re already there when lunch is called. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
