About our hog roast hire in Stanwell
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We’re often asked to cater corporate events and christmas fairs, with crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
There may be a hall or playing field near Stanwell 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 comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. In Stanwell, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Stanwell hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- An itemised quote

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
Why choose hog roast hire in Stanwell?
You can taste the hours of roasting: the meat is tender and the crackling crisp.

Stanwell: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?

You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.

Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
