The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. After-work summer events in Surrey Quays have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
