A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn and winter afternoons in Fernhurst get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Fernhurst
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Fernhurst too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you come to Fernhurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Fernhurst and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
