About our party hog roast in Bullockstone

Country parties near Bullockstone suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains

Bullockstone: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Bullockstone?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Martin: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cover Bullockstone?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, it is light in Bullockstone until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Is a hog roast right for your party?

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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
