Party hog roast in Epsom, carved to order
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Whether it’s family reunions and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, we can cook apple sauce, jacket potatoes and crackling.
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Epsom frequently happen at home or in a local hall. Either works, given an outdoor spot to cook. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Autumn parties in Epsom get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Before we arrive

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Epsom
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Epsom Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you come to Epsom?
Yes, Epsom is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A spot well away from the house
- A heads-up for next door
- Parking close to the house
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- How long the roast and service take

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
