Party hog roast for North Halling
FAQs for North Halling
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is North Halling from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Party hog roast near North Halling
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. Typical bookings include neighbourhood parties and leaving and retirement do’s, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling.
In a small place like North Halling, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

What happens on the day

Evening parties in North Halling need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
