About our hog roast hire in Soldridge
People book a hog roast in Soldridge for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and parties at home, serving new potatoes, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
In a rural place like Soldridge, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Soldridge, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Questions from Soldridge
How far is Soldridge from London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Soldridge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
