Slow-roasted pork in West Clandon
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
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.
Party hog roast near West Clandon
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and retirement parties.
Country parties near West Clandon suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Sunset in West Clandon is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.

- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

A hog roast or other catering?
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
