Hog roast hire for Byfleet
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day

About our hog roast hire in Byfleet
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include coleslaw, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and village fêtes and school fairs.
Around Byfleet, bookings are often at homes, village halls and playing fields. If the lane is narrow, tell us so we can plan our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

What else we do in Byfleet
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
For event organisers in Byfleet
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
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 will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Around midsummer it stays light in Byfleet until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
