A hog roast near Woldingham
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. On a winter shoot near Woldingham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Woldingham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Woldingham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you cover Woldingham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Woldingham and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Post allergen details at base
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Vehicle access to base

- Away from vehicles and equipment
