Hog roast hire in Bordon
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Hog roast hire in Bordon, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas parties and gatherings after a funeral.
There may be a hall or playing field near Bordon if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Bordon, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Your questions about a hog roast in Bordon
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Bordon from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cover Bordon?
Yes, Bordon is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
