How our party hog roast works in Baybridge
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and getting-engaged parties.
In a small place like Baybridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
