Pitch Place: your questions answered
Is Pitch Place close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues 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.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Pitch Place, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
What affects the price in Pitch Place
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
