How our party hog roast works in Appleshaw
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. For getting-engaged parties and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
Near Appleshaw, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.

Questions from Appleshaw
Is Appleshaw too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter in the Wood?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Appleshaw stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; 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.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
