A hog roast near Horsell
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Horsell
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Horsell close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Horsell, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
