How our hog roast for events works in Churt
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for PTA summer fairs and club events.
Rural events near Churt can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
Give us a contact on the day.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

Step by step

Summer events in Churt have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
FAQs for Churt
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’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in The Flashes?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
