Hog roast hire in Betchworth, carved to order
In Betchworth, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and shows and gatherings after a funeral.
In a rural place like Betchworth, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
