Common questions in Tilford Common
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Tilford Common?
Farnham station, about 3.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
