Party hog roast in Crowhurst, carved to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. We’re often asked to cater christenings and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, serving hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
Country parties near Crowhurst suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.

Crowhurst questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St George?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Crowhurst?
The closest is Godstone station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot well away from the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Neighbours warned about the smell
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
