Party hog roast in Birdham, slow-roasted on site

If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. For close and cul-de-sac parties and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, hog roast rolls and coleslaw for your guests.

In a small place like Birdham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.

How it works

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Birdham, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

  1. Show us the garden or drive.
  2. We check the space and quote.
  3. We cook for hours on site.
  4. Our staff serve rolls and sides.
  5. We leave the garden tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
  • Send final numbers in good time
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do we need cover?

Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.

We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.

Do children like hog roasts?

Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what affects the price:

  • Season and day of the week
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Travel to Birdham
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What to tell us

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • Anything the venue has asked for
  • The date and time of the event
  • Where the event is

Send us the date, the address or PO20 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Let us know roughly how many children

Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.

Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

Planning the cooking spot

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
  • A heads-up for next door
  • A level patio, lawn or driveway

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

  • Halloumi skewers (V)
  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Stuffing and apple sauce
