Hog roast hire for Sunbury-on-Thames
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Questions from Sunbury-on-Thames
Can you do a hog roast in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Saviour: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

A hog roast or other catering?
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.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
