Mayford parties: what to know
Mayford is about 1 mile south of Woking, in Surrey. A hog roast suits parties around Mayford, whatever the venue. Mayford is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Mark's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Clandon Park (4 miles south-east) and Guildford Castle (4.3 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Mayford, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We bring hog roasts to parties all over the GU22 postcode area. Your party could be at a house on Moor Lane, Egley Road and Bonsey Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Pyle Hill (1 mile south-west), Sutton Green (1 mile south), Send (2 miles east), Jacobs Well (2 miles south) and Send Marsh (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (3 miles south), Camberley (7 miles west), Epsom (13 miles east), Farnham (12 miles south-west), Ewell (14 miles east) and Egham (9 miles north).
Nearby you will also find The Peacocks (1.7 miles north) and Woking Community Hospital (1.4 miles north). The countryside around Mayford includes Pewley Hill and Papercourt Marshes.
- Schools near Mayford include Hoe Valley School (within half a mile north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find Drumming Snipe pub (under half a mile south-west)
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset in Mayford is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
