What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A spot well away from the house
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How our party hog roast works in Busbridge
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. For wedding anniversaries and retirement celebrations, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes and more.
In a small place like Busbridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Common questions in Busbridge
Can you do a hog roast in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Busbridge?
The closest is Godalming station, roughly 1 mile away.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Busbridge parties: what to know

- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Busbridge, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
