About hog roast hire in RH8
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in RH8, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We are often asked to cater sports clubs and societies and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving salads, coleslaw and new potatoes.
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What you will pay
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Planning a hog roast in RH8
RH8 covers everything from Oxted, Limpsfield and Hurst Green to 8 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.
Oxted: Churches such as St Agatha's Hall rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Within reach of Oxted are historic houses such as Titsey Place (2 miles north-east) and Quebec House (3.6 miles east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Evenings in Oxted 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.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it.
Questions to ask before you book
- A clear list of what’s included
- Whether travel is included
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Whether VAT is included
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
Send us the date, the address or RH8 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Why a hog roast works
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast in RH8. Here are some of the most popular:
- Club events and presentations
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Weddings, day or evening
- Birthdays and anniversaries
