Party hog roast in Afton Park, slow-roasted on site
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. We serve crackling, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for leaving and retirement do’s and milestone birthdays.
In a small place like Afton Park, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

A christening at St. Agnes' Church followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (3.8 miles south-east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. The coast is within about 2 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.

Common questions in Afton Park
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Agnes' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area

- Distance from us
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
