Slow-roasted pork in Tandridge
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
About our hog roast hire in Tandridge
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and salads.
In a hamlet or village like Tandridge, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Why choose hog roast hire in Tandridge?
There is very little for you to organise: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. Everything else comes with us.
In Tandridge and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Garden parties and barbecues
- Club events and presentations
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Weddings and receptions
Nearby historic houses include Titsey Place (3.4 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early.
What your quote should include
- Any travel or access charges
- Who carves and who serves
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
