Hog roast for events in Grayswood
Hog roast for events in Grayswood, carved to order
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We’re often asked to cater charity fundraisers and horse and dog shows, with a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
At a fête or show near Grayswood, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Halal is not offered

We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
FAQs for Grayswood
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’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Grayswood?
The closest is Haslemere station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special at a traditional fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan visitors can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
