How our party hog roast works in Holmwood Corner
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. We’re often asked to cater reunions and big birthday parties, serving apple sauce, coleslaw and crackling.
In a small place like Holmwood Corner, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Holmwood Corner questions
Do you come out to small places like Holmwood Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 follow the site rules.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
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 bring everything else.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Planning a party in Holmwood Corner
Holmwood Corner is about 3 miles south of Dorking, in Surrey. Holmwood Corner is well within our area for parties. Holmwood Corner is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 12 miles away.
If you had Inholms Clay Pit in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Holmwood Corner is within about 3 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
