A hog roast near Buttsole
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Party hog roast in Buttsole, slow-roasted on site
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. We serve hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for big birthday parties and leaving and retirement do’s.
A country party near Buttsole is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Buttsole, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
