In Peaslake, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. For staff days and open days and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Planning an evening hog roast in Peaslake?

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or GU5 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
