Parties in Sunnymeads: homes, halls and local tips
Sunnymeads is about 3 miles north of Egham, in Surrey. Thinking about a hog roast for your party in Sunnymeads? We can help. Sunnymeads is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cater. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 15 miles away.
If you had Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as SS Peter and Andrew's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards.
Anywhere in TW19, SL4 and SL3, we can roast on site for your guests. That could mean a party in a garden on The Avenue, Park Avenue and Welley Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater parties in Wraysbury (1 mile south), Horton (1 mile east), Old Windsor (1 mile south-west), Brands Hill (1 mile north-east) and Datchet (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (15 miles south), Woking (10 miles south), Camberley (12 miles south-west), Epsom (15 miles south-east), Ewell (15 miles south-east) and Egham (3 miles south).
A little further out are Berkshire Yeomanry Museum (2.2 miles west) and Windsor Castle (2.2 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Staines Reservoirs.
- Nearby schools include Churchmead School (1.5 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Perserverance Public House (0.8 miles south)
Party hog roast in Sunnymeads, carved to order
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Whether it’s retirement parties and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of jacket potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
Country parties near Sunnymeads suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Sunnymeads, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- 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.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Questions from Sunnymeads
We’re gathering after a service at SS Peter and Andrew's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Sunnymeads?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
