Questions from Frensham
Could you cook in The Flashes?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
What happens in bad weather?
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 we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Hog roast hire in Frensham, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater work summer parties and garden parties and barbecues, with salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere like Frensham, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Occasions we serve in Frensham
For big gatherings in Frensham, a hog roast is hard to beat: one roast feeds a crowd, and the carving gives people something to watch.
People around Frensham book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. For example:
- Milestone birthdays
- Christmas fairs
- Parties at home
- Staff days and open days
A green space like The Flashes is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- The space, cover and access they need
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evenings in Frensham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your guests
