Hog roast hire in SM3: what to expect
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and salads, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and club events and presentations.
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

A hog roast across SM3: what to know
Across SM3, we cover 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Sutton, Morden and North Cheam to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
North Cheam: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy, can book a hog roast stall. Within reach of North Cheam are historic houses such as Nonsuch Mansion (1 mile south) and Fitznells Manor (1.9 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. By late September, sunset in North Cheam is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
