We serve halloumi skewers, crackling and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and weddings, day or evening.

Planning a hog roast in KT10
There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in KT10, so whether your event is in Esher, Molesey and Hook or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Esher: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Milbourne Lodge School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. A green space like Claremont Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Late September evenings in Esher 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
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- The space, cover and access they need
- A clear list of what’s included
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area

- Numbers

What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
