Hog roast hire for Pirbright
How our hog roast hire works in Pirbright
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads, and we are often booked for milestone birthdays and corporate events.
Somewhere as small as Pirbright, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Your questions about a hog roast in Pirbright
Do you come out to small places like Pirbright?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Pirbright from London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Put the menu on the invitation
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
What happens on the day
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. Evenings in Pirbright stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
