A hog roast or other catering?

Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Why us?

  • Sides to make it a full meal
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
  • Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
  • Carved to order by a chef

See our prices page and the cost guide.

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.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Choosing a hog roast caterer

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Durfold Wood

How far is Durfold Wood from London?

About 35 miles from central London.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.

Do you need power or water?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

When should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

Is it pay as you go?

That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll talk it through.

Is there a non-pork option?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

Do you trade at village fêtes?

We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.

Will there be enough to go round?

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

What happens on the day

Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Durfold Wood are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

  1. Organisers send us the event details.
  2. We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
  3. We set up early on the pitch.
  4. We serve as visitors arrive.
  5. We leave the pitch clean.

Getting ready for the day

  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Let us know about tight access
  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Getting a price

It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

Planning help

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Plan separately for halal if needed
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
  • Make the stall easy to find

We carve to order through the agreed hours.
