Party hog roast in Earlstone Common, slow-roasted on site
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, with the right permissions. We are often asked to cater getting-engaged parties and summer parties in the garden, serving apple sauce, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Earlstone Common, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

- Let us know roughly how many children
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed

Earlstone Common: your questions answered
Is Earlstone Common close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Ascension?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, it’s light in Earlstone Common until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
