About our party hog roast in Black Bourton

A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. On the menu are crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for big family get-togethers and summer parties in the garden.

A country party near Black Bourton is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Common questions in Black Bourton

We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Do you come out to small places like Black Bourton?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you cater in Black Bourton?

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?

The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.

What do people get?

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Who serves?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

Is clearing up included?

We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.

Should I cook it myself?

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

For event organisers in Black Bourton

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

How the day works

Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Black Bourton stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the space and send a price.
  3. We arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. We carve and serve at food time.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
