How our party hog roast works in Alfold Crossways
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. Whether it is wedding anniversaries and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of jacket potatoes, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
Near Alfold Crossways, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Questions from Alfold Crossways
Is Alfold Crossways close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Where the roaster can go in Alfold Crossways
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive

At midsummer, it’s light in Alfold Crossways until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
