Our hog roast hire in CR3
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in CR3, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and summer garden parties.
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Around Caterham
Locally, our bookings take us close to The King And Queen Public House, de Stafford School and Sunnydown School, among other places. Other local landmarks include Dollypers Hill (1.9 miles north-west), Hillcroft Primary School (less than half a mile south-east) and Sacred Heart Church (under half a mile east). The nearest railway station is Caterham station, roughly 0.7 miles south-east. Nearby you will also find Bletchingley Castle (3.4 miles south) and East Surrey Museum (0.6 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include South London Downs National Nature Reserve and Mercers Lake.
Hog roast hire across CR3
CR3 covers everything from Coulsdon, Caterham and Warlingham to 4 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Caterham: Parks such as Dollypers Hill typically need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Nearby historic houses include Titsey Place (4.7 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Caterham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Occasions we serve in CR3
A hog roast suits big outdoor gatherings in CR3: a whole hog goes a long way, and the carving gives people something to watch.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:
- Weddings, day or evening
- Work summer parties
- Parties at home
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
For event organisers in CR3
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

- Rules from the venue or landowner

CR3 questions
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
