About our hog roast hire in Hog Hatch
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Hog Hatch. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. We’re often asked to cater sports clubs and societies and festive gatherings, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
There may be a hall or playing field near Hog Hatch if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Light matters for a long roast: in Hog Hatch, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Why choose a hog roast in Hog Hatch?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Serving and clearing done for you

Hog roast hire around Hog Hatch

Here we cover the GU9 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. We can cater an event on streets such as Coniston Drive, Dukes Walk and Folly Hill or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to events in Ewshot (1 mile north-west), Dora's Green (1 mile west), Warren Corner (1 mile west), Dippenhall (2 miles south-west) and Redlands (2 miles west).
