Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Loxhill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day

Prices and what affects them

- How many people are eating

- Travel to Loxhill
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- An estimate of numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Loxhill
Do you come out to small places like Loxhill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues 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.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater in Loxhill?
Yes, Loxhill is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
