Party hog roast in Horne, 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’ll check it with you. Whether it is close and cul-de-sac parties and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of crackling, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
In a small place like Horne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Horne parties: what to know
Horne is about 4 miles east of Horley, in Surrey. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Horne and the surrounding area. Horne is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 22 miles away.
If the day starts at Church of St Mary the Virgin, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. Horne is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Here we cover the RH6 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. That could mean a party in a garden on Church Road and Whitewood Lane or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Whitewood (1 mile north-east), Blindley Heath (1 mile north-east), Newchapel (2 miles south-east), Lingfield Common (3 miles east) and Domewood (3 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Epsom (13 miles north-west), Horley (4 miles west), Redhill (5 miles north-west), Ewell (14 miles north-west), Reigate (6 miles north-west) and Caterham (7 miles north).
A little further out are East Surrey Hospital (4.2 miles north-west) and Bletchingley Castle (3.8 miles north). Within reach you will find Bay Pond and Hedgecourt Lake.
- Nearby, you will find The Jolly Farmer pub (within half a mile north-east)
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What else we do in Horne
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Horne is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Take a look at our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A step-free way into the garden
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Jacket potatoes
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
