Slow-roasted pork in Tilford
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Party hog roast near Tilford
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. Whether it’s naming ceremonies and engagement parties, we can cook hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Near Tilford, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Tilford stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Tilford questions
What’s the nearest station to Tilford?
Farnham station, about 2.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Tilford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Salads
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
For event organisers in Tilford
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
