About our hog roast hire in Horley
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For festive gatherings and big birthdays and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, crackling and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Horley, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

FAQs for Horley
How far is Horley from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Horley?
Banbury station, about 3.5 miles south-east of the centre.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is it just pork?
It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Planning an evening hog roast in Horley? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
