Our hog roast hire in GU21
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and corporate events, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.

What it costs in GU21

Hog roast hire across GU21
GU21 covers everything from Woking, Goldsworth Park and St John's to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Woking: After a service at Church of St Mary of Bethany, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Parks such as Hoe Valley Linear Park typically need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Planning an evening hog roast in Woking? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Common questions in GU21
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
