In a small place like Little London, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Autumn parties in Little London get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Hosting a hog roast party in Little London
Little London is about 5 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Wherever your party is in Little London, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Little London is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover.
For party guests on the train, Gomshall station is about 1.6 miles away. Among the historic houses close to Little London are Chilworth Manor (2.5 miles west) and Clandon Park (3.2 miles north-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about a mile of Little London, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
FAQs for Little London
Can you do a hog roast in Colekitchen Down?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Old St Peter and St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
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.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A wet-weather plan for guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
