A hog roast near Enton Green
Hog roast hire in Enton Green, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. We are frequently asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere as small as Enton Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Why choose a hog roast in Enton Green?

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Your questions about a hog roast in Enton Green
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.
Could you cook in Rodborough Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is all of Surrey covered?
We cater across Surrey, including Enton Green. Ask for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
