Book a hog roast in Pyrford
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, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Hog roast hire for your event in Pyrford
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and summer garden parties, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
There may be a hall or playing field near Pyrford if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset in Pyrford is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Pyrford questions
Is Pyrford close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Pyrford?
The closest is West Byfleet station, roughly 1 mile away.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
