Party hog roast for Bells Yew Green
Party hog roast in Bells Yew Green, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding anniversaries and family reunions.
A country party near Bells Yew Green is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
