What we serve, dish by dish

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Hog roast hire for your event in Pachesham Park
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Pachesham Park: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. For birthdays and anniversaries and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Pachesham Park, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to Pachesham Park
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why choose hog roast hire in Pachesham Park?
A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around Pachesham Park, such as:
- Corporate events
- Weddings and receptions
- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Clubhouse events
A green space like River Mole LNR is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
What your quote should include
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- Staffing on the day
- What crockery is supplied
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
FAQs for Pachesham Park
Can you do a hog roast in River Mole LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Pachesham Park too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Is all of Surrey covered?
We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.

Why choose a hog roast in Pachesham Park?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Pachesham Park until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day
