About our party hog roast in Buriton
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. Whether it’s getting-engaged parties and christenings, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, coleslaw and jacket potatoes for your guests.
Country parties near Buriton suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Common questions in Buriton
Could you cook in Ditcham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, it is light in Buriton until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- 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.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
