Slow-roasted pork in Pyle Hill
How our party hog roast works in Pyle Hill
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. We are often asked to cater engagement celebrations and naming ceremonies, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and coleslaw.
Country parties near Pyle Hill suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Pyle Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.

- We serve when you are ready.

Pyle Hill parties: what to know
Pyle Hill is about 2 miles south of Woking, in Surrey. Pyle Hill and the surrounding area are covered for parties. Pyle Hill is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater.
A green space like Mayford Meadows is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Historic houses near Pyle Hill include Guildford Castle (3.7 miles south) and Clandon Park (3.8 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Pyle Hill is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Wherever your party is in GU22, we can roast on site for your guests. Whether your party is on Maybourne Rise, Guildford Road and Pyle Hill or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. Close by, we cover parties in Mayford (1 mile north-east), Sutton Green (1 mile south-east), Jacobs Well (1 mile south), Send (2 miles east) and Bellfields (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (3 miles south), Camberley (7 miles north-west), Epsom (14 miles east), Farnham (11 miles south-west), Ewell (14 miles east) and Egham (10 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find The Hockey Museum (2.2 miles north) and Woking Community Hospital (2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Pewley Hill and Brookwood Lye.

Questions from Pyle Hill
Do you come out to small places like Pyle Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at All Souls' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
