Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Sutton Abinger hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Common questions in Sutton Abinger
What’s the nearest station to Sutton Abinger?
The closest is Gomshall station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
