Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

FAQs for Rowhook
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 follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Rowhook?
Warnham station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
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.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
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.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
