Hog roast hire for your event in Dunsfold
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We’re frequently asked to cater festive gatherings and community events, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
Somewhere like Dunsfold, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning a hog roast in Dunsfold
Dunsfold is about 9 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. We’re happy to travel to Dunsfold for events and the places nearby. Dunsfold is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 9 miles away.
A green space like Fir Tree Copse is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Mary and All Saints, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Dunsfold. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
Wherever your event is in GU8, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Binhams Meadow, Dunsfold Common Road and Nugent Close, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For events just outside Dunsfold, we cover Loxhill (1 mile north), Hascombe (2 miles north), Alfold Crossways (2 miles south-east), Elmbridge Village (2 miles north-east) and Grafham (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Guildford (9 miles north), Woking (14 miles north), Farnham (12 miles north-west), Dorking (13 miles north-east), Frimley (15 miles north-west) and Haslemere (7 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Milford Hospital (4.3 miles north-west). The countryside around Dunsfold includes Lower Lake and Hydon's Ball.
- Pubs nearby include The Sun Inn Public House (under half a mile south)
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late September evenings in Dunsfold lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

FAQs for Dunsfold
Could you cook in Fir Tree Copse?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
