Party hog roast in Slindon Common, carved to order
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and anniversary parties, serving crackling, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Slindon Common, 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. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Slindon Common questions
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Slindon Common?
Barnham station, about 2.1 miles south of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. By late September, sunset in Slindon Common is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 4:00pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
