Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Farncombe
We are gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist 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. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A step-free way into the garden
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
