Hog roast hire in KT7: what to expect
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve hog roast rolls, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for festive gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Hog roast catering in KT7: local guide
There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in KT7, so whether your event is in Esher, Molesey and Seething Wells or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Thames Ditton: Churches such as Church of St. Nicholas rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Thames Ditton Junior School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Thames Ditton stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Occasions we serve in KT7
A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
Here’s what people in KT7 most frequently book a hog roast for:

What do people get?

What if it rains?

Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
