Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell

Alfold Bars questions
Could you cook in Fir Tree Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Alfold Bars from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an evening party in Alfold Bars, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
