Oxted: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Oxted?
The closest is Hurst Green station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is Oxted close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A safe distance from other traders
- Your trader requirements
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
