Party hog roast for Bletchingley
How our party hog roast works in Bletchingley
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater family reunions and wedding anniversaries.
Near Bletchingley, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
FAQs for Bletchingley
Is Bletchingley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Kitchen Copse?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A heads-up for next door
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. A green space like Kitchen Copse is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
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.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, sunset in Bletchingley is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
