Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Why choose a hog roast in Slaugham?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Slaugham questions
How far is Slaugham from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Occasions we serve in Slaugham
Hardly any clearing up, because we bring plates and clear away.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Slaugham and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays
- Leaving and retirement do’s
- Family reunions
- Getting-engaged parties
Nearby historic houses include Tyes Place (1.8 miles east) and Ockenden Manor (3.6 miles south-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether plates or china are included
- How dietary needs are handled
- The full menu and the sides
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
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.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
