Party hog roast near Allhallows
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include big family get-togethers and summer parties in the garden, serving jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
A country party near Allhallows is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Where the roaster can go in Allhallows
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A step-free way into the garden

How the day works

In Allhallows, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
