Witley: your questions answered
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.
Is Witley close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
For event organisers in Witley
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of All Saints, are a natural home for a hog roast.

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.
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.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Witley stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
