Hog roast hire for your event in Wanborough
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it is festive gatherings and work summer parties, we will put together a menu of crackling, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a rural place like Wanborough, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

FAQs for Wanborough
Can you do a hog roast in Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Wanborough?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do you travel across Surrey?
Surrey is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Do you cover Wanborough?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Wanborough and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
