The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Stoughton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Stoughton questions
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is all of Surrey covered?
We cater across Surrey, including Stoughton. Ask for a quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is our garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
