About our hog roast hire in Northchapel
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for birthdays and anniversaries and christmas fairs.
In a rural place like Northchapel, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Northchapel questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Northchapel too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. 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.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
