Private Party Hog Roast Hire

We specialise in providing hog roast, spit roasts and BBQ catering for private functions. Whether it is 50 or 500 guests you can be rest assured it will be an unforgettable experience.

The Gourmet Hog Roast Company arrive 6-7 hours prior to the pre-arranged carving time and set up the spit roast machine, tables, gas, electric. 1 to 2 members of our staff will then stay with the free range pigs throughout the whole cooking process ensuring the meat is adequately basted and that the crackling crisps up properly.

An hour before the serving time the gas is turned off to allow 20-25 minutes for the hog roast to rest and the juices to settle. Carving of the meat then takes about 30-40 minutes when we let the meat fall into the bottom of the roasting machine before we add the Gourmet Hog Special Sauce.

From there the meat is ready to be served buffet style.

We contacted the gourmet hog roast company to provide the food for our wedding, and we were so glad that we did. The process from start to finish was so easy in selecting our options from the wide range available. Russ and the team then knocked it out of the park on the day as the food was not only delicious, but in such amazing portions that there were leftovers after everyone had finished their platter served meal. Would absolutely recommend!

We hired The Gourmet Hog Roast for our wedding in May 2026 at Clock Barn Farm, Godalming and they were absolutely amazing. The food was frequently commented on as being some of the best wedding food guests had ever had! The portions were really generous and absolutely delicious (we opted for salmon, steak and lamb chops BBQ). The boys serving on the day were brilliant, set up smoothly and adapted to fit around our schedule of the day and were really friendly. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Anthony and his team hosted a fantastic Hog Roast for my 50th birthday at the Wimbledon RFC. Very professional service from beginning to end and I would not hesitate to use the company again and would recommend them to anyone wanting to host a hog roast. I had a lot of guests come up to me on the evening and the next day telling me how succulent the hog roast was and how much they enjoyed it, even the fussy eaters! There was absolutely no left overs which is always a good sign. The team were extremely punctual and polite on the day and set up and tidy up were done quickly and discreetly without any fuss. Thank you.

We hired them for an event in Poynings, and they were fantastic from start to finish. We couldn’t fault them, professional, polite, and incredibly accommodating throughout. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the food was excellent. It was a huge hit with our guests and received so many compliments. We would highly recommend them and would happily use them again for future events.

I recently attended a wedding where the food was provided by Gourmet Hogroast Company, and I can honestly say it was some of the best wedding food I’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The hog roast was absolutely incredible, and there was plenty of choice for everyone. Nick and his team were brilliant from start to finish, friendly, professional, organised, and clearly passionate about what they do. They helped make the day even more special, and so many guests were talking about how amazing the food was. If you’re looking for top-quality catering for a wedding or event, I would highly recommend Gourmet Hogroast Company. Fantastic food and fantastic service!
