What comes off the roaster

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Crowhurst Lane End
Which station is closest to Crowhurst Lane End?
The closest is Godstone station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Crowhurst Lane End?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
Can a hog roast raise money?
We are happy to talk it through.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, Crowhurst Lane End is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
