Hog roast hire for Hurtmore
Hog roast hire for your event in Hurtmore
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in Hurtmore. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. We serve salads, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and wakes and memorial gatherings.
In a small place like Hurtmore, a hog roast often 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. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Hurtmore, 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.

Which station is closest to Hurtmore?
Godalming station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
What if it rains?
