Hosting a hog roast party in Ockford Ridge
Ockford Ridge is about 2 miles south-west of Godalming, in Surrey. Planning a hog roast for your party in Ockford Ridge? We cover the whole area. We bring hog roasts to 395 places across Surrey. We cater events right across the region, from Ockford Ridge to Guildford (about 7 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St John the Evangelist's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. A green space like Rodborough Common is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Ockford Ridge, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
