Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take

Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

Common questions in Blackbrook
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Blackbrook stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
