About hog roast hire in RH3
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in RH3, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We are frequently asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a 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: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Hog roast hire across RH3
RH3 covers everything from Brockham, Betchworth and Strood Green to 5 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Parts of RH3 are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Brockham: A green space like Brockham Limeworks is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. PTAs at schools such as North Downs Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evenings in Brockham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
What affects the price in RH3
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Events we cater in RH3
A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
Hosts in RH3 book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Wakes
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
- Garden parties and barbecues
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
