Party hog roast in Chestfield
About our party hog roast in Chestfield
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include reunions and milestone birthdays, serving coleslaw, jacket potatoes and apple sauce.
Country parties near Chestfield suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
