Hog roast hire across RH6
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include weddings, day or evening and christmas fairs, serving coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving.
- 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.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Cost
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 RH6
RH6 covers everything from Crawley, Horley and Copthorne to 9 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.
Horley: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Horley Infant School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St Wilfrid's Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Around midsummer it stays light in Horley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Questions from RH6
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Is all of Surrey covered?
We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
