How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. After-work summer events in South Earlswood have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

For event organisers in South Earlswood

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RH1 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A named contact for the day
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
