How our party hog roast works in Seale
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. Whether it’s back-garden get-togethers and wedding anniversaries, we can cook apple sauce, crackling and jacket potatoes.
Near Seale, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening parties in Seale need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
What affects the price in Seale
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The venue or postcode

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A word with the neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Common questions in Seale
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Laurence: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. 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.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
