About our hog roast hire in Chobham
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We’re often asked to cater corporate events and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers.
There may be a hall or playing field near Chobham if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evenings in Chobham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

Why choose a hog roast in Chobham?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
FAQs for Chobham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Chobham close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is all of Surrey covered?
Surrey is part of our area, including Chobham. Get in touch for a price.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
