How our hog roast hire works in Charlwood
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include work summer parties and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving salads, new potatoes and coleslaw.
In a small place like Charlwood, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
FAQs for Charlwood
Could you cook in Edolph's Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Charlwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you cover Charlwood?
Yes, Charlwood is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?

Is a hog roast right for your event?
