Hog roast for events near Wisley
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Typical bookings include community events and club events, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
A fête near Wisley might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, events in Wisley stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day

Common questions in Wisley
Could you cook in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Wisley close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
