FAQs for Grafham
Is Grafham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need extra food?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.
Can you cater in Grafham?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wedding in Grafham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
