How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about

How our hog roast hire works in Farleigh
In Farleigh, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. For weddings, day or evening and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a rural place like Farleigh, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Farleigh, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.

- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.

- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Farleigh: your questions answered
Is Farleigh too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Ledgers Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is all of Surrey covered?
All of Surrey is in our area. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
