Book a hog roast in Outwood
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
How our hog roast hire works in Outwood
In Outwood, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. For clubhouse events and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls for your guests.
For a rural spot like Outwood, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Bringing a hog roast to Outwood
Outwood is about 3 miles east of Horley, in Surrey. Outwood is well within our area for events and the places nearby. We cater all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Outwood to Guildford (about 20 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St John the Baptist rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. For a fundraiser at a school like Oakwood School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school.
Wherever your event is in RH1, we can bring the roaster to you. Your event could be at a house on Miller's Lane, Bellwether Lane and Scott's Hill, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. For events just outside Outwood, we cover Smallfield (1 mile south), Horley (3 miles west), Burstow (3 miles south), Fernhill (3 miles south-west) and Keeper's Corner (3 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Epsom (12 miles north-west), Redhill (4 miles north-west), Ewell (13 miles north-west), Reigate (5 miles north-west), Caterham (7 miles north) and Dorking (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Effingham Park Motor Museum (3.7 miles south) and East Surrey Hospital (2.9 miles north-west). Open spaces near Outwood include Bay Pond and Hedgecourt Lake.

About the food

A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Outwood hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late September evenings in Outwood lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
