Hog roast hire in Redhill
How our hog roast hire works in Redhill
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Redhill: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We serve salads, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and shows and work summer parties.
In Redhill, the roaster normally goes in a back garden, a club or hall car park, or the grounds of a hired venue. Each works well, given level ground with clearance overhead. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning a hog roast in Redhill
Redhill is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. Thinking about a hog roast in Redhill? We cover the whole area. Redhill is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 18 miles away.
If you had Nutfield Marshes in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Churches such as Saint Matthew's Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. Redhill is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
This part of Surrey takes in RH1 and RH2, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include High Street, Station Road and Church Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Redhill is on the A23 and A25, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Earlswood (1 mile south), Holmethorpe (1 mile north-east), Meadvale (1 mile south-west), South Earlswood (2 miles south) and South Nutfield (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Epsom (8 miles north-west), Horley (4 miles south), Ewell (9 miles north-west), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Caterham (5 miles north-east) and Dorking (7 miles west). As one of the bigger places in Surrey, Redhill has lots of places with room for a hog roast.
Nearby you’ll also find The Belfry (within half a mile north) and Surrey Fire Museum (1.2 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Colley Hill and Reigate Heath.
- Local schools include The Carrington School (0.5 miles north-east) and Dunottar School (0.8 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include White Lion Public House (less than half a mile west)
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Redhill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- 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.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
