Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
FAQs for Little Bookham
What’s the nearest station to Little Bookham?
Bookham station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Do you cover Little Bookham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Little Bookham and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
