About our hog roast for events in Shamley Green
Charity fundraisers in Shamley Green can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. We are often asked to cater community days and street fairs and charity days, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
At a field event near Shamley Green, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Common questions in Shamley Green
Could you cook in Cucknell's Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Shamley Green?
The closest is Chilworth station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
Do you come to Shamley Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Shamley Green and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- A safe distance from other traders
- Room for a queue that does not block paths

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Shamley Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
