Hog roast hire for Lingfield
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Hog roast hire in Lingfield, carved to order
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, new potatoes and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater staff days and open days and community events.
A place like Lingfield frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Light matters for a long roast: around Lingfield, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.

- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Lingfield Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Lingfield is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
Anywhere in RH7, we can roast on site for your guests. That could mean an event in a garden on High Street, Station Road and Old School Place or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. For events just outside Lingfield, we cover Lingfield Common (1 mile north-west), Felcourt (1 mile south), Dormansland (1 mile south-east), Newchapel (2 miles south-west) and Dormans Park (2 miles south).

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Is Lingfield close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
