A hog roast near South Earlswood
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A summer party in South Earlswood stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

About our party hog roast in South Earlswood
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. For christenings and naming days and getting-engaged parties, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw and more.
A country party near South Earlswood is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
