Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Party hog roast in Ewhurst Green, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. We’re often asked to cater retirement celebrations and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, with jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Country parties near Ewhurst Green suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
Ewhurst Green: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Ewhurst Green from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
