Hog roast for events in Old Woking, slow-roasted on site
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re often booked for club events and village fêtes.
At a fête or show near Old Woking, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Old Woking stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
