Hog roast hire in Nalderswood
Hog roast hire in Nalderswood, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Nalderswood: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include garden parties and barbecues and wakes and memorial gatherings, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere as small as Nalderswood, 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. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Light matters for a long roast: in Nalderswood, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Nalderswood questions
How far is Nalderswood from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Edolph's Copse?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
Surrey is part of our area, including Nalderswood. Ask for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Why choose a hog roast in Nalderswood?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
