Hog roast hire in Old Woking
Common questions in Old Woking
Is Old Woking too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in White Rose Lane?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Hog roast hire in Old Woking, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and work summer parties.
In a hamlet or village like Old Woking, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Light matters for a long roast: around Old Woking, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
