Hog roast hire in Tattenham Corner, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Tattenham Corner. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Typical bookings include work summer parties and wakes, with salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere like Tattenham Corner, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Tattenham Corner, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
FAQs for Tattenham Corner
We’re gathering after a service at St Mark: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Merland Rise Recreational Ground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Is all of Surrey covered?
Surrey is part of our area, including Tattenham Corner. Contact us for a price.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
