Why choose a hog roast in Alscot?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. A summer party in Alscot stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is 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 check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your guests
