About our party hog roast in North Holmwood
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Whether it is anniversary parties and big birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
In a place like North Holmwood, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling

What affects the price in North Holmwood
The biggest factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Common questions in North Holmwood
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
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.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
