How our party hog roast works in Boarshead
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it’s retirement celebrations and summer parties in the garden, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
Near Boarshead, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Boarshead
Is Boarshead too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Boarshead from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In Boarshead, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot well away from the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A step-free way into the garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
