There may be a hall or playing field near West End if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Your questions about a hog roast in West End
What’s the nearest station to West End?
The closest is Brookwood station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in West End until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
