Party hog roast in Wotton, carved to order
In Wotton, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. Our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and big family get-togethers, serving jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
Country parties near Wotton suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
For event organisers in Wotton
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning a party in Wotton
Wotton is about 3 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. We take a hog roast for your party to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Wotton. Wotton is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 8 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Wotton are Polesden Lacey (3 miles north) and Hatchlands Park (4.7 miles north-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Gomshall station, about 2.4 miles west. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Wotton, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in RH5, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. From Sheephouse Green, Sheephouse Lane and Hollow Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. If your venue is just outside Wotton, we also cover Westcott (1 mile north-east), Ranmore Common (2 miles north-east), Mid Holmwood (3 miles east), Dorking (3 miles north-east) and North Holmwood (3 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (8 miles west), Woking (11 miles north-west), Epsom (10 miles north-east), Horley (10 miles east), Redhill (10 miles east) and Ewell (11 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Abinger Castle (1.2 miles south-west) and Mesolithic Museum (1.3 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Silent Pool and Leith Hill.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Wotton hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

FAQs for Wotton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

About the food

Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For an evening party in Wotton, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
