Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
FAQs for Almodington
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We’re gathering after a service at Earnley Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Almodington until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.

- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.

Preparing for the day

- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
