About hog roast hire in GU17
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and christmas parties, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

Planning a hog roast in GU17
From Farnborough, Cove and Blackwater to 2 villages and hamlets, bookings across GU17 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Blackwater: A green space like Sandhurst Memorial Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. If guests are travelling by rail, Blackwater station is about 0.6 miles away. Late September evenings in Blackwater lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice.
Questions to ask before you book

- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Questions from GU17
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you come to GU17?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including GU17 and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
