A hog roast near Titsey
Hog roast hire for your event in Titsey
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and sports clubs and societies, with salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Titsey, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.

Can you cater after a service at Church of St James the Greater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Titsey?
The closest is Oxted station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we will quote.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Light matters for a long roast: around Titsey, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
