Common questions in Nalderswood
What’s the nearest station to Nalderswood?
Salfords station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre.
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.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you trade at school events?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Hog roast for events in Nalderswood, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. We are frequently asked to cater club events and PTA summer fairs, serving a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling.
At a fête or show near Nalderswood, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For an autumn event in Nalderswood, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
