Slow-roasted pork in Wrecclesham
Hog roast hire for your event in Wrecclesham
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. For weddings and receptions and staff days and open days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and coleslaw.
In a smaller place like Wrecclesham, a hog roast in the garden is often 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. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Common questions in Wrecclesham
Can you cater after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
All of Surrey is in our area. Send us the address and we will quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in Wrecclesham 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 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
