How our hog roast hire works in Fisher's Pond
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and corporate events.
In a hamlet or village like Fisher's Pond, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Send us the date, the address or SO50 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. 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.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Our staff serve and clear

For event organisers in Fisher's Pond
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The process
When we arrive, 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. By late September, sunset in Fisher's Pond is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
