How our hog roast hire works in Molesey
In Molesey, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include corporate events and wakes, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
In a smaller place like Molesey, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast in Molesey
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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.
How far is Molesey from London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Is crackling included?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset in Molesey is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
