Hog roast hire in Lambs Green
How our hog roast hire works in Lambs Green
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and garden parties and barbecues.
Somewhere as small as Lambs Green, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Common questions in Lambs Green
Is Lambs Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

Late September evenings in Lambs Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RH12 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
