Space, access and the venue

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evenings in East Horsley stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
