How hog roast hire works in RH1
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We are often asked to cater wakes and parties at home, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Cost
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Our staff serve and clear

Hog roast catering in RH1: local guide
RH1 covers everything from Redhill, Reigate and South Merstham to 10 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.
Redhill: Churches such as Saint Matthew's Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. By late September, sunset in Redhill is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Why a hog roast works
It is generous, hearty food that most people love, and lamb, chicken and vegetarian options look after the rest.
We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in RH1 and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Festive gatherings
- Wakes
- Staff days and open days
- Village fêtes and school fairs
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Your questions about a hog roast in RH1
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
