About our party hog roast in Burntcommon
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. For street parties and summer parties in the garden, we’ll put together a menu of jacket potatoes, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
Country parties near Burntcommon suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Catered or do it yourself?
