What affects the price in Bordon
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Bordon questions
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mark's Sacred Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Bordon is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
