How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-May events in Shottermill have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Full catering or machine hire?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Questions from Shottermill
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Shottermill close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
