A hog roast near Upper Halliford
Hog roast hire for your event in Upper Halliford
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Upper Halliford, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and work summer parties.
In a hamlet or village like Upper Halliford, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Upper Halliford: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater in Upper Halliford?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Upper Halliford: venues, access and local tips
Upper Halliford is about 1 mile south-west of Sunbury-on-Thames, in Surrey. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in Upper Halliford, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. We cover 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 13 miles away.

Nearby, we also cater events in Charlton (1 mile north-west), Sunbury-on-Thames (1 mile north-east), Littleton Common (1 mile north-west), Ashford Common (1 mile north) and Shepperton Green (1 mile west).
