Hog roast hire in Farnborough
Planning a hog roast in Farnborough
Farnborough is about 2 miles south-west of Orpington, in Greater London. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in Farnborough, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Farnborough is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 12 miles away.
If guests are travelling by rail, Orpington station, about 1.2 miles north-east, is the nearest station. A green space like South Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Farnborough is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
For events in BR6, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. From Tye Lane, Peel Road and Pitt Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. If your venue is just outside Farnborough, we also cover Green Street Green (1 mile south-east), Locksbottom (1 mile north-west), Crofton (1 mile north), Farthing Street (1 mile south-west) and Downe (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include London (12 miles north-west), City of Westminster (15 miles north-west), Marylebone (15 miles north-west), Kensington (15 miles north-west), St Pancras (14 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (13 miles north-west).
Nearby you will also find Orpington Hospital (0.9 miles east) and Crofton Roman Villa (1.1 miles north-east). The countryside around Farnborough includes Downe Bank Nature Reserve and Summer Hill.
- Nearby schools include Newstead Wood School (0.6 miles north)

Hog roast hire in Farnborough, slow-roasted on site
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Farnborough. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Whether it is wedding breakfasts and evening food and sports clubs and societies, we can cook hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
Gardens in Farnborough tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Why book with us

- Serving and clearing done for you

- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Common questions in Farnborough
Can you do a hog roast in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
