Our hog roast hire in CR9
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in CR9. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and weddings and receptions.
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Cost
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes

A hog roast across CR9: what to know
From Croydon, Woodside and Ashburton to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across CR9 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Croydon: After a service at St Andrew's, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Nearby historic houses include Addington Palace (2.5 miles east) and Kingswood House (4.4 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Planning an evening hog roast in Croydon? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Occasions we serve in CR9
Slow roasting can’t be faked: tender pork and proper crackling, carved fresh for every roll.
People around CR9 book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Clubhouse events
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
- Weddings, day or evening
- Milestone birthdays
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
