Hog roast hire for your event in Bisley
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and christmas parties.
There may be a hall or playing field near Bisley if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Bisley questions
What’s the nearest station to Bisley?
The closest is Brookwood station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is all of Surrey covered?
All of Surrey is in our area. Tell us the venue for a quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
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
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any venue rules
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Around midsummer it stays light in Bisley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Perfect for your event in Bisley
You can taste the hours of roasting: tender pork and proper crackling, carved fresh for every roll.
