About our party hog roast in Tadworth
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We serve apple sauce, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for christenings and naming days and retirement celebrations.
Around Tadworth, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Autumn parties in Tadworth get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Other occasions in Tadworth
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
