About our party hog roast in Birchden
In Birchden, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. We serve and tidy up. For close and cul-de-sac parties and back-garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling and more.
In a small place like Birchden, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Birchden questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Birchden too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
