About hog roast for events in Surrey

Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We’re frequently asked to cater tournaments and sports days and summer fêtes, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.

Cost

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Running an event in Surrey

Surrey has events everywhere, from Guildford, Woking and Camberley to village fêtes in 276 small places. Hog roasts suit town fairs and village fêtes alike. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Surrey, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Guildford: For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. If your event is in Stoke Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles. In December, Guildford is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

Show allergens at the stall
Halal isn’t offered
Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
Tell us what the event asks of traders

We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What comes off the roaster

Crackling

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

A hog roast or other catering?

At large shows, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan.

Questions to ask before you book

When they arrive and when the food will be ready
VAT, if it applies
The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
Which meats, sides and extras are included

Planning the cooking spot

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:

Permission for cooking on the site
Your trader requirements
Flat, firm ground for the roaster

Full catering or machine hire?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Surrey questions

What happens after service?

Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

What do you need from the organiser?

Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.

When do you start roasting?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Do you do fêtes?

A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Get in touch.

Is mains power needed?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Can you help with a fundraiser?

Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest options.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
