About our party hog roast in Bagnum
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and christenings, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
A country party near Bagnum is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Bagnum, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:05pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
