Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Why choose party hog roast in Charleshill?
You’re a host, not a cook.
Whatever the occasion in Charleshill, a slow roast goes a long way. Bookings often include:
- Family reunions
- Christenings
- Milestone birthdays
- Summer parties in the garden
Parks such as Thundry Meadows usually need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Any travel or access charges
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- Staffing on the day
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Charleshill, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Charleshill questions
Could you cook in Thundry Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Charleshill close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
