Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Common questions in Wonersh
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Shalford Mill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Wonersh, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
