Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evenings in Holbrook stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Warnham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
