Hog roast hire for Cudworth
About our hog roast hire in Cudworth
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Cudworth, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and clubhouse events.
In a small place like Cudworth, a hog roast often 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. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Cudworth 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.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.

Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.

Cudworth questions
Is Cudworth too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
