Hog roast hire in RH5: what to expect
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include crackling, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for wakes and garden parties and barbecues.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
What you’ll pay
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Hog roast catering in RH5: local guide
RH5 covers everything from Dorking, North Holmwood and Pixham to 28 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across RH5, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
North Holmwood: If you had Inholms Clay Pit in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. After a service at Church of St John the Evangelist, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in North Holmwood, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
What your quote should include
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
