Our hog roast hire in GU5

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 is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wakes and garden parties and barbecues.

Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We look at the cooking area and send a price.
  3. We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
  4. The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
  5. We clear up and go.

Planning a hog roast in GU5

GU5 covers everything from Bramley, Wonersh and Gomshall to 15 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. Parts of GU5 are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Bramley: Thinking of a hog roast in Shalford Mill? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. PTAs at schools such as St Catherine's School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. By late September, sunset in Bramley is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

What we serve, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce

A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.

Before you choose a spot

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

  • Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
  • Permission from the venue or landowner
  • A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains

Why a hog roast works

Rolls are easy to eat standing up, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.

We are regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around GU5, such as:

  • Fêtes, fairs and shows
  • Christmas parties
  • Clubhouse events
  • Summer garden parties

If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

FAQs for GU5

What’s the price?

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.

Where does the hog roast go?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Is it just pork?

Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.

Do you travel across Surrey?

Surrey is part of our area, including GU5. Ask for a quote.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

When do you start roasting?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

What do people get?

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

  • Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
