Party hog roast in Wishanger Common, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. Whether it’s wedding anniversaries and christenings, we can cook coleslaw, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Wishanger Common, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Parties in Wishanger Common: homes, halls and local tips
Wishanger Common is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Wishanger Common. We cover 395 places in Surrey. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 12 miles away.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Wishanger Common is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
