Hog roast hire for Heyshott
About our hog roast hire in Heyshott
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. For sports clubs and societies and community events, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere as small as Heyshott, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Planning an evening hog roast in Heyshott? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early

Before you choose a spot

- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Heyshott
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, 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 Heyshott hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A clear quote with everything listed

Heyshott questions
How far is Heyshott from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
