Party hog roast in Artington, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and engagement parties.
Near Artington, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

- Which meats and sides you choose

- The date and time of year
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For an evening party in Artington, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
