Party hog roast in Esher, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. We are often asked to cater big birthday parties and back-garden get-togethers, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and coleslaw.
For a party in Esher, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Common questions in Esher
Can you cater after a service at St George's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Esher?
Esher station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What affects the price in Esher
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
