Slow-roasted pork in Shepperton
How our hog roast hire works in Shepperton
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We are frequently asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and garden parties and barbecues, with coleslaw, salads and crackling.
There may be a hall or playing field near Shepperton if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event in Shepperton. Light matters for a long roast: in Shepperton, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Your questions about a hog roast in Shepperton
How far is Shepperton from London?
About 17 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

A green space like Sunbury Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Among the historic houses close to Shepperton are The Homewood (3.8 miles south-east) and Botleys Mansion (4.2 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early.

We can cater an event on streets such as High Street, Station Road and Manygate Lane or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TW17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Shepperton
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
