Rural locations near Hurtmore can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Common questions in Hurtmore
Is Hurtmore too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
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.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Hurtmore is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
