Party hog roast in Carterton, carved to order
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. We serve apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and wedding anniversaries.
In Carterton, home and the local hall are popular party venues. Either works, given an outdoor spot to cook. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Carterton
Is Carterton close to London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A heads-up for next door
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Carterton, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
