Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Hog roast hire in West End, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in West End: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include parties at home and work summer parties, with crackling, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a rural place like West End, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning a hog roast in West End
West End is about 1 mile south-west of Esher, in Surrey. A hog roast suits events around West End, whatever the venue. We bring hog roasts to 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from West End to Guildford (about 12 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Claremont Fan Court School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. If you had Claremont Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.
Events anywhere in KT10 and KT12 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. We can cater an event on streets such as Esher Road, Garson Road and Lammas Lane, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. West End is on the A244 and A307, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Esher (1 mile north-east), Lower Green (1 mile north-east), Claygate (2 miles east), Hinchley Wood (2 miles north-east) and Weston Green (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (12 miles south-west), Woking (9 miles west), Camberley (15 miles west), Epsom (5 miles east), Redhill (13 miles south-east) and Ewell (5 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Elmbridge Museum (0.9 miles north-east) and No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital (2.6 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Claremont Lake and Jubilee Wood.
- Nearby schools include Esher Church School (0.8 miles east) and Esher Church of England High School (0.9 miles north)
- Local pubs include Albert Arms (0.7 miles north-east)

- Allergies we should know about

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

West End questions
Do you come out to small places like West End?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St George's?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
