Common questions in Peasmarsh
Could you cook in Shalford Mill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
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 will follow the site rules.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you cover Peasmarsh?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Peasmarsh and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Hog roast hire in Peasmarsh, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere like Peasmarsh, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late September evenings in Peasmarsh lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
