What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

How we price a hog roast for your party
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it’s light in Grayshott until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
