Is all of Surrey covered?

What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Hog roast hire in Bramshott Chase, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and festive gatherings, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere like Bramshott Chase, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
