Questions from Binscombe
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Farncombe Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
