Party hog roast near Sandhurst
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. On the menu are crackling, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement celebrations and big family get-togethers.
Country parties near Sandhurst suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For an evening party in Sandhurst, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.

Sandhurst questions
Do you come out to small places like Sandhurst?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Sandhurst from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
