About our party hog roast in Box Hill
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. Typical bookings include garden parties and anniversary parties, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and coleslaw.
A country party near Box Hill is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Box Hill: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at St. Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A heads-up for next door
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, it is light in Box Hill until about 9:20pm, 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.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
