Party hog roast for Capel
Party hog roast near Capel
In Capel, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater getting-engaged parties and reunions.
In a small place like Capel, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Capel stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Capel questions
Is Capel too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Capel?
Ockley station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you cover Capel?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
