If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. For historic house shoots and base catering, we can cook a vegan option, salads and new potatoes for your crew.
Near Dunsfold, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Common questions in Dunsfold
Which station is closest to Dunsfold?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Dunsfold?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
