About our party hog roast in Abbots Worthy
In Abbots Worthy, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. We serve coleslaw, apple sauce and jacket potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement parties and engagement celebrations.
Near Abbots Worthy, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Common questions in Abbots Worthy
Is Abbots Worthy 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.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Abbots Worthy, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.

- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
