South Nutfield questions
Is South Nutfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is electricity needed?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
