Why choose party hog roast in Buckland?
Most children happily eat pork in a roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
However big or small the event in Buckland, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We’re often asked to cater:
- Street parties
- Family reunions
- Milestone birthdays
- Retirement celebrations
Within reach of Buckland are historic houses such as Longworth House (2.6 miles east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who does not eat pork 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 for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Rotisserie chicken

- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your party
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening parties in Buckland need a little planning: it is light until about 9:30pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
