Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Hog roast hire for your event in The Sands
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and weddings and receptions, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere as small as The Sands, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Parking near the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast in The Sands
Can you cater after a service at The Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Crooksbury Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you travel across Surrey?
Surrey is part of our area, including The Sands. Get in touch for a price.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in The Sands until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
