Slow-roasted pork in Wisley
Hog roast hire in Wisley, slow-roasted on site
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Whether it’s wakes and memorial gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we’ll put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Wisley, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why choose a hog roast in Wisley?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved to order by a chef

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For event organisers in Wisley
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late September evenings in Wisley lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time

How does hog roast hire work?

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
