Hog roast hire for South Earlswood
Hog roast hire in South Earlswood, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in South Earlswood, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for garden parties and barbecues and staff days and open days.
Somewhere as small as South Earlswood, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Common questions in South Earlswood
Can you do a hog roast in Earlswood Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Christ the King?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
