Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

FAQs for Earlswood
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Hooley Mission Hall?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much room do you need?
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 check it with you before booking.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Earlswood, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
