For event organisers in Oxshott
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Common questions in Oxshott
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
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.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
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. Evening parties in Oxshott need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
