Hog roast for events in Elmbridge Village
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
How our hog roast for events works in Elmbridge Village
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Elmbridge Village. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and school fairs and sports days.
Near Elmbridge Village, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Common questions in Elmbridge Village
Can you come to a school fair in Elmbridge Village?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
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?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Do you come to Elmbridge Village?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, Elmbridge Village is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or GU6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
