Hog roast hire in Sheerwater, slow-roasted on site
In Sheerwater, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. For wakes and work summer parties, we will put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Sheerwater, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Sheerwater: your questions answered
Is Sheerwater close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Sheerwater?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is crackling included?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Sheerwater, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
