What affects the price in East Clandon
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Can you cater after a service at Church of St Thomas of Canterbury?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is East Clandon too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you come to East Clandon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, East Clandon and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In East Clandon, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Preparing for the day
