A hog roast near Redlands
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Redlands, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Common questions in Redlands
What’s the nearest station to Redlands?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
