Party hog roast in Alfold
Party hog roast near Alfold
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. We’re often asked to cater engagement parties and back-garden get-togethers, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.
Near Alfold, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
