About our hog roast hire in East Molesey
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. We’re often asked to cater staff days and open days and christmas fairs, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
There may be a hall or playing field near East Molesey if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Planned to your running order
- No surprises: everything in writing

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In East Molesey, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is 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.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
