Hog roast hire in Stroude, slow-roasted on site
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. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for weddings and receptions and birthdays and anniversaries.
In a rural place like Stroude, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Evenings in Stroude stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

What affects the price in Stroude
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.

Why choose a hog roast in Stroude?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Timed around your day
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

For event organisers in Stroude
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning a hog roast in Stroude
Stroude is about 1 mile south of Egham, in Surrey. Stroude is well within our area for events and the places nearby. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 11 miles away.
After a service at Christ Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. A green space like Riverside Walk is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
Anywhere in GU25 and TW20, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event in a garden on Edgell Close, Stroude Road and Whitehall Farm Lane, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.

Stroude: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Can you cater in Stroude?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Stroude and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
All of Surrey is in our area. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
