Hog roast hire in Fetcham
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
How our hog roast hire works in Fetcham
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We are often asked to cater weddings and receptions and festive gatherings, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
For a place the size of Fetcham, your own garden is frequently the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What affects the price in Fetcham
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
