Hog roast hire in Faygate, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve salads, new potatoes and crackling, and we are often booked for community events and weddings and receptions.
Somewhere like Faygate, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why Faygate hosts choose us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Read how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Faygate
We’re gathering after a service at St Francis' Church: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Faygate from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
