Slow-roasted pork in Dora's Green
Hog roast hire in Dora's Green, slow-roasted on site
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in Dora's Green. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We serve coleslaw, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and staff days and open days.
In a rural place like Dora's Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Dora's Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.

- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.

Common questions in Dora's Green
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Dora's Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you travel across Surrey?
Surrey is part of our area, including Dora's Green. Contact us for a price.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
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.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
