Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Lower Green, 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Lower Green questions
Can you do a hog roast in Giggs Hill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
Surrey is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do we prepare?
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 bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
