Questions from Frithend
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at The Church Of The Good Shepherd: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A word with the neighbours
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
