Hog roast hire in Oxshott, slow-roasted on site
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We are frequently asked to cater weddings and receptions and community events, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
Around Oxshott, bookings are frequently at homes, village halls and playing fields. If the lane is narrow, tell us so we can plan our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Oxshott: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues 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.
Which station is closest to Oxshott?
Oxshott station, in Oxshott itself.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Light matters for a long roast: in Oxshott, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
