Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Bilsham
Is Bilsham close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Bilsham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Bilsham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price

How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why choose party hog roast in Bilsham?
