How our party hog roast works in Bowlhead Green

A country party near Bowlhead Green is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers

Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A summer party in Bowlhead Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Common questions in Bowlhead Green
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Bowlhead Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
