Party hog roast in Onslow Village
Party hog roast in Onslow Village, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include christenings and wedding anniversaries, serving hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and crackling.
In a place like Onslow Village, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
FAQs for Onslow Village
Can you cater after a service at All Saints' Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Perfect for your party in Onslow Village
It suits all ages, from grandparents to toddlers.

For event organisers in Onslow Village

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
