How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evenings in Alfold Crossways stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book our hog roast in Alfold Crossways
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us
- Timed around your day

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
