Our hog roast hire in SM2
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. On the menu are crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for weddings and receptions and community events.
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Hog roast catering in SM2: local guide
SM2 covers everything from Ewell, Sutton and Shanklin Village to 1 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.
Shanklin Village: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Harris Academy Sutton, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. If you had Manor Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. In Shanklin Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode

For event organisers in SM2
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Who books hog roast hire?

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
