Long Ditton: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Long Ditton?
The closest is Surbiton station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
As a London location, Long Ditton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Long Ditton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
