Hog roast hire in Epsom, slow-roasted on site
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Popular choices include crackling, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and parties at home.
Most bookings in a town like Epsom are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. All of them can work, as long as there’s a level spot clear of buildings and trees. 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.

What else we do in Epsom
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the spot
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Planning an evening hog roast in Epsom? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Questions from Epsom
Could you cook in Epsom Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St. Barnabas Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is it just pork?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cater in Epsom?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Why choose a hog roast in Epsom?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
