Hog roast hire for your event in Laleham
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve salads, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater corporate events and milestone birthdays.
For a place the size of Laleham, your own garden is frequently the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Laleham: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Laleham from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is all of Surrey covered?
We cater across Surrey, including Laleham. Ask for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
