In Tadworth, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone.

Thinking of a hog roast in Merland Rise Recreational Ground? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Churches such as Church of the Good Shepherd rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Tadworth. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
For events in KT20 and KT18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean an event in a garden on Beatrice Square, High Street and Fairacres, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.

Is mains power needed?

Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in Tadworth until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
