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 work to whatever the site needs.

What about guests who do not eat pork?

How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In late September, sunset in Ellen's Green is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
