If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Party hog roast in Whyteleafe, carved to order
For a christening or naming day in Whyteleafe, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Whether it is back-garden get-togethers and naming ceremonies, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Whyteleafe, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take

Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Whyteleafe, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.

Getting ready for the day

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
FAQs for Whyteleafe
Is Whyteleafe close to London?
About 13 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at St Luke?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why choose a hog roast in Whyteleafe?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
