Questions from Barford
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 will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in The Flashes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you come to Barford?
Yes, Barford is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Details of what the event requires
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
Give us a contact on the day.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late May, sunset in Barford is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
