About our hog roast hire in Chertsey
People book a hog roast in Chertsey for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We’re frequently asked to cater milestone birthdays and gatherings after a funeral, serving salads, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
In a smaller place like Chertsey, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how we reach the garden. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What else we do in Chertsey
For event organisers in Chertsey
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.

Chertsey: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Woburn Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you travel across Surrey?
We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Churches such as Church of St Peter rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Anne's Catholic Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.
Wherever your event is in KT16 and KT15, we can roast on site for your guests. From Station Road, Charles Street and King Street or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. You’ll find Chertsey on the A317 and A320, which makes the journey straightforward. Nearby, we also cater events in Lyne (1 mile west), Row Town (2 miles south), Ottershaw (2 miles south-west), Trumps Green (3 miles west) and Stonehill (3 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (10 miles south), Woking (6 miles south-west), Camberley (10 miles west), Epsom (11 miles east), Ewell (11 miles east) and Egham (3 miles north-west).

Events we cater in Chertsey
There is very little for you to organise: an outdoor cooking spot and a contact on the day. Everything else comes with us.
People around Chertsey book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Club events and presentations
- Weddings, day or evening
- Staff days and open days
A green space like Woburn Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
What to look for in a quote
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- How many staff will carve and serve
- What the price includes, item by item
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Chertsey lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day
