Party hog roast near Binscombe
After a christening near Binscombe, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and retirement celebrations.
Near Binscombe, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A summer party in Binscombe stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Questions from Binscombe
Can you cater after a service at St John the Evangelist Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
