Hog roast hire in Littleton, carved to order
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Littleton, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and parties at home, with salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere like Littleton, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Other occasions in Littleton
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear
- Planned to your running order

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

When you contact us, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies

We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Littleton
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning a hog roast in Littleton
Littleton is about 1 mile north of Farncombe, in Surrey. Wherever your event is in Littleton, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Littleton is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover.
For a fundraiser at a school like Loseley Fields Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. A green space like Farncombe Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Littleton is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
This part of Surrey takes in GU3, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Close by, we cover events in Binscombe (1 mile south-west), Onslow Village (1 mile north), Compton (1 mile west), Hurtmore (2 miles south-west) and Wood Street Village (3 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Woking (7 miles north), Camberley (10 miles north-west), Farnham (8 miles west), Egham (15 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east) and Dorking (12 miles east).
A little further out are Surrey Police Museum (0.7 miles north-east) and Farnham Road Hospital (1.5 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Lower Lake and St Catherine's Hill.
- Local schools include Broadwater School (1.1 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include The Withies Inn (1 mile west)
Littleton questions
Could you cook in Farncombe Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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 follow the site rules.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you come to Littleton?
Yes, Littleton is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you travel across Surrey?
We cater across Surrey. Ask for a quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event in Littleton. By late September, sunset in Littleton is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
