Party hog roast in Longcross
Party hog roast near Longcross
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re often booked for big birthday parties and naming ceremonies.
Country parties near Longcross suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Longcross, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Longcross parties: what to know
Longcross is about 4 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Wherever your party is in Longcross, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Longcross is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Longcross to Guildford (9 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Gracious Pond? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Within reach of Longcross are historic houses such as Botleys Mansion (2.3 miles east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Wherever your party is in KT16, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Longcross Road, Tanglewood Close and Albury Close; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. If your venue is just outside Longcross, we also cover Trumps Green (1 mile north-east), Stonehill (1 mile south-east), Lyne (2 miles east), Mimbridge (3 miles south) and Ottershaw (3 miles south-east).
