How our hog roast for events works in Leatherhead
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. On the menu are halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we are often booked for car and steam shows and school events.
Community events in Leatherhead frequently rely on a few good food stalls. Roast pork rolls are a reliable draw. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
What affects the price in Leatherhead
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- Site access
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Common questions in Leatherhead
Can you come to a school fair in Leatherhead?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What will our event need from you?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Do you come to Leatherhead?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Leatherhead and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Why choose a hog roast in Leatherhead?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
