Full catering or machine hire?
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Thursley questions
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Thursley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

For event organisers in Thursley
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
