Party hog roast near Rowledge
For a christening or naming day in Rowledge, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and crackling, and we’re often booked for getting-engaged parties and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Rowledge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Rowledge questions
We’re gathering after a service at Saint James: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or GU10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in Rowledge until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
