A hog roast near Sandhurst Cross
How our party hog roast works in Sandhurst Cross
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. We are often asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and anniversary parties, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and apple sauce.
Country parties near Sandhurst Cross suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Sandhurst Cross: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald 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.
Is Sandhurst Cross too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

For event organisers in Sandhurst Cross
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
