A hog roast near Woldingham
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Woldingham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

How our hog roast hire works in Woldingham
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. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and weddings, day or evening, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and salads.
Somewhere like Woldingham, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
