About our party hog roast in Haslemere
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. We are often asked to cater street parties and milestone birthdays, with crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
Parties around Haslemere are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Evening parties in Haslemere need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
For event organisers in Haslemere
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
FAQs for Haslemere
Is Haslemere close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Christopher?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
