Party hog roast in Sutton, slow-roasted on site
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and street parties.
In a small place like Sutton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Sutton: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Sutton?
Amberley station, about 3.7 miles south-east of the centre.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
