Party hog roast in Carpenders Park
How our party hog roast works in Carpenders Park
For a christening or naming day in Carpenders Park, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. On the menu are crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater getting-engaged parties and garden parties.
Most parties in Carpenders Park are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Carpenders Park
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Sunset in Carpenders Park is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
