What we serve, dish by dish

Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hoe
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A summer party in Hoe stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
