Hog roast hire in KT23: what to expect
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in KT23: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include wakes and corporate events, serving spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling.
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Prices in KT23
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Planning a hog roast in KT23
From Great Bookham, Fetcham and Little Bookham to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across KT23 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across KT23, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Great Bookham: For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Bookham station, about 0.8 miles north-west. A green space like River Mole LNR is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Planning an evening hog roast in Great Bookham? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice.

Questions from KT23
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.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
