Questions from Mayford
We are gathering after a service at St Mark's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Mayford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you cover Mayford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Mayford and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
For event organisers in Mayford
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Light matters for a long roast: around Mayford, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

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 roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
