FAQs for East Clandon
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Thomas of Canterbury?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is all of Surrey covered?
All of Surrey is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

What affects the price in East Clandon
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or GU4 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in East Clandon until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

What we serve, dish by dish

Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
