About our party hog roast in Crawley
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. For reunions and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
A country party near Crawley is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, it’s light in Crawley until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time

Crawley: your questions answered
Is Crawley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Crawley from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
For event organisers in Crawley
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
