Hosting a hog roast party in Staines-upon-Thames
Staines-upon-Thames is about 7 miles south-west of Hayes, in Surrey. From village halls to gardens and fields, parties around Staines-upon-Thames suit a hog roast. Staines-upon-Thames is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 13 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Botleys Mansion (4 miles south) and Frogmore House (4.9 miles north-west).

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Staines-upon-Thames
- Salads

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Staines-upon-Thames questions
Is Staines-upon-Thames close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. A summer party in Staines-upon-Thames stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
