Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How our party hog roast works in Betchworth
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for garden parties and milestone birthdays.
In a small place like Betchworth, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Questions from Betchworth
Could you cook in Brockham Limeworks?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Betchworth?
Betchworth station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Betchworth stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, 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.

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
