A hog roast near Ewhurst
Planning a hog roast in Ewhurst
Ewhurst is about 7 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. We cover Ewhurst and its neighbours for events. Ewhurst is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Ewhurst to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. A green space like Sayer's Croft LNR is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Ewhurst is within about 4 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
We cater events across the GU6 postcode area. From The Street, Mount Close and Broomers Lane or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Main roads around Ewhurst include the B2127, so getting the roaster to your event is simple.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.

How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Ewhurst, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
