Hog roast for events in Batt's Corner
Hog roast for events near Batt's Corner
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Batt's Corner attract visitors. We will talk through options with you. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling, and we are often booked for school events and charity fundraisers.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Batt's Corner: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Batt's Corner?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Do you cover Batt's Corner?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We serve as the queue moves.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The process
