Hog roast hire in Haslemere, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes and christmas fairs, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
There may be a hall or playing field near Haslemere if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Light matters for a long roast: around Haslemere, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.

- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.

Questions from Haslemere
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Christopher?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
