About our party hog roast in Aldworth
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. Popular choices include crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for retirement celebrations and wedding anniversaries.
Near Aldworth, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Aldworth questions
Do you come out to small places like Aldworth?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
