Party hog roast in Sutton Abinger
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Party hog roast in Sutton Abinger, carved to order
After a christening near Sutton Abinger, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. We are frequently asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and christenings and naming days, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
In a small place like Sutton Abinger, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Sutton Abinger, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Questions from Sutton Abinger
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Sutton Abinger?
The closest is Gomshall station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you come to Sutton Abinger?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Sutton Abinger and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
