About our hog roast hire in Sulham
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater staff days and open days and community events.
Somewhere as small as Sulham, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Sulham: your questions answered
Is Sulham close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Sulham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What we serve, dish by dish

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Sulham, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Spit-roast lamb
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- New potatoes
- Stuffing
- Apple sauce
- Crackling
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules

You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
