Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
About our hog roast hire in Witley

Questions from Witley
Is Witley close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater in Witley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Witley and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
How we price a hog roast
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Witley
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. 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.
