Hog roast hire for your event in Woking
In Woking, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are salads, crackling and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for work summer parties and summer garden parties.
In a town the size of Woking, a hog roast works at home, at hired venues and at work. If the venue is central, check its rules on gas equipment and access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Woking until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day

Bringing a hog roast to Woking
Woking is about 24 miles south-west of London, in Surrey. Planning a hog roast in Woking? We can help. Woking is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover.
If you had Hoe Valley Linear Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Mary of Bethany, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby.
Events anywhere in GU21, GU22, GU24 and GU3 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Local streets include High Street, Market Walk and Gloucester Square; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Woking is on the A247 and A320, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. We also bring hog roasts to events in Goldsworth Park (1 mile west), St John's (1 mile west), Horsell (1 mile north-east), Westfield (1 mile south-east) and Mimbridge (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Guildford (5 miles south), Camberley (7 miles west), Epsom (13 miles east), Farnham (12 miles south-west), Ewell (14 miles east) and Egham (8 miles north). Woking is among the bigger towns we cover in Surrey, with plenty of venues for events.
Well-known places in the area include The Peacocks (0.6 miles east) and The Hockey Museum (0.7 miles east). Open spaces near Woking include Brookwood Lye.
- Nearby schools include Woking High School (0.9 miles north) and Hoe Valley School (1.2 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include The Red Lion pub (0.5 miles north)
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Where the roaster can go in Woking
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Woking: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary of Bethany?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Woking?
Woking station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Do you travel across Surrey?
We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
