A hog roast near Frithend
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A clear quote with everything listed
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Hog roast hire in Frithend, slow-roasted on site
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and societies and christmas fairs.
In a rural place like Frithend, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
For event organisers in Frithend
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- The date and time of year

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Frithend questions
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Frithend?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
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.
Do you cover Frithend?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

What comes off the roaster

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Frithend, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.

- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
