How our party hog roast works in Hersham
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and wedding anniversaries.
Around Hersham, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Hosting a hog roast party in Hersham
Hersham is about 1 mile south of Walton-on-Thames, in Surrey. We cover parties in Hersham. Hersham is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 11 miles away.
A green space like West End Common is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. For guests coming by train, Walton-On-Thames station, about 0.6 miles north-west, is the nearest station.
We cater parties across KT12 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Police Station Road, Queensway South and Queensway, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. With the A244 close by, Hersham is easy for us to reach. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Burwood Park (1 mile south-west), Walton-on-Thames (1 mile north), Whiteley Village (2 miles south-west), St George's Hill (2 miles west) and Weybridge (2 miles west).

How we price a hog roast for your party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Who books party hog roast in Hersham?
Children generally love it, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
Hosts in Hersham book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. For example:
- Back-garden get-togethers
- Big birthday parties
- Retirement celebrations
- Big family get-togethers
Nearby historic houses include The Homewood (1.4 miles south-east) and Hampton Court Palace (3.6 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.

- A wet-weather plan for guests
