How hog roast hire works in RH7
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving crackling, salads and coleslaw.
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.

Hog roast catering in RH7: local guide
Across RH7, we cover 3 towns and 6 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Lingfield, Dormansland and Blindley Heath to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Lingfield: Within reach of Lingfield are historic houses such as Hammerwood Park (4.5 miles south-east) and Saint Hill Manor (4.9 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Churches such as Church of St Peter and St Paul rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Planning an evening hog roast in Lingfield? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
Events we cater in RH7
There’s very little for you to organise: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. Everything else comes with us.
Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around RH7, such as:
- Christmas fairs
- Club events and presentations
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
- Gatherings after a funeral
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value.

- When they arrive and when the food will be ready

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Questions from RH7
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
We cater across Surrey. Contact us for a price.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
