About our hog roast hire in Elmbridge Village
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. For community events and garden parties and barbecues, we will put together a menu of crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
For a rural spot like Elmbridge Village, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

By late September, sunset in Elmbridge Village is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

Getting ready for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
