Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Your questions about a hog roast in Kilnwood Vale
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 follow the site rules.
Is Kilnwood Vale close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
