Hog roast hire for your event in Mayes Green
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s christmas fairs and weddings, day or evening, we can cook hog roast rolls, new potatoes and salads.
In a rural place like Mayes Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. 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.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Mayes Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

Mayes Green: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Wallis Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Is all of Surrey covered?
Surrey is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
