Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Merland Rise Recreational Ground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
