A hog roast near Boughton under Blean
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Boughton under Blean, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
