Party hog roast in Clayton, carved to order

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evening parties in Clayton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Clayton questions
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Baptist's Church: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Clayton?
Hassocks station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do you cover Clayton?
Yes, Clayton is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Occasions we serve in Clayton
Hardly any clearing up, since we provide plates and tidy up.

What we serve, dish by dish

A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A wet-weather plan for guests

What affects the price in Clayton
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
