Party hog roast near Caterham
In Caterham, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. Whether it is summer parties in the garden and big family get-togethers, we can cook jacket potatoes, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
Garden parties are a favourite in Caterham, with a local hall or club as a good back-up. We need a level spot away from the house. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A word with the neighbours

Caterham questions
Can you do a hog roast in Dollypers Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Caterham close to London?
About 15 miles from central London.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

Planners, venues and businesses

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For an evening party in Caterham, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
