How our party hog roast works in Bitchet Green
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. We’re often asked to cater christenings and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, with rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage.
Near Bitchet Green, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment

Common questions in Bitchet Green
Can you do a hog roast in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Lawrence: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.

Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

- Serving and clearing done for you

- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
