Planning an event in Blissford?
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Party hog roast in Blissford, slow-roasted on site
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Blissford suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. Whether it’s big family get-togethers and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Blissford, 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, it is light in Blissford until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Common questions in Blissford
Is Blissford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Ascension?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
