Slow-roasted pork in Woldingham
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an evening party in Woldingham, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day

Questions from Woldingham
Could you cook in Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Woldingham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Parties in Woldingham: homes, halls and local tips
Woldingham is about 3 miles east of Caterham, in Surrey. Woldingham is well within our area for parties. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Woldingham to London (about 15 miles away).
A green space like Hill Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Among the historic houses close to Woldingham are Titsey Place (2.2 miles east) and Down House (4.8 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Parties anywhere in CR3 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Your party could be at a house on Station Road, Church Road and Ulstan Close or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster.
