Slow-roasted pork in Stoneleigh
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
About our hog roast hire in Stoneleigh
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it is birthdays and anniversaries and work summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling for your guests.
In and around Stoneleigh, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Stoneleigh
- How long the roast and service take
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Stoneleigh, sunset is around 8:50pm 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.
- You share the when, where and how many.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve.

How to prepare

How to get a price

- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
