Hog roast hire in West Molesey, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and weddings and receptions.
In a smaller place like West Molesey, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast in West Molesey
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Lower Hampton Road?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in West Molesey, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- 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
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
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.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
