About our party hog roast in Washington
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. Whether it’s wedding anniversaries and garden parties, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes and more.
Country parties near Washington suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A summer party in Washington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Organising for someone else?

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Washington questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Washington close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you come to Washington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Washington and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
