Questions from Hook
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Stokes Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. 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.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
