A hog roast near Ansteadbrook
How our party hog roast works in Ansteadbrook
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Ansteadbrook, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. We serve jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for big birthday parties and engagement celebrations.
Near Ansteadbrook, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
