Woldingham questions
Which station is closest to Woldingham?

Hog roast for events in Woldingham, slow-roasted on site
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater small festivals and PTA summer fairs.
Rural events near Woldingham can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer events in Woldingham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally 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 agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
What affects the price in Woldingham
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
