How our hog roast hire works in Brewer Street
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
Somewhere as small as Brewer Street, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Brewer Street, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Here’s what people in Brewer Street most often book a hog roast for:
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Garden parties and barbecues

Brewer Street: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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.
Can you do a hog roast in Kitchen Copse?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you travel across Surrey?
We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
