The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Bramley is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.

Bramley questions
We’re gathering after a service at The Church of Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Shalford Mill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you travel across Surrey?
We cater across Surrey. Contact us for a price.
Can you cater in Bramley?
Yes, Bramley is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Other occasions in Bramley
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
