Our hog roast hire in GU23
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include big birthdays and anniversaries and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and crackling.
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- 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.
- We clear up and go.

Planning a hog roast in GU23
Across GU23, we cover 3 towns and 6 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from West Horsley, Send and Burntcommon to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Send: If guests are travelling by rail, Clandon station is about 2.2 miles away. For a fundraiser at a school like Send CofE Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. In Send, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Your quote depends on:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information

- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
