How our party hog roast works in Church Street
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. On the menu are coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for street parties and wedding anniversaries.
Country parties near Church Street suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For an evening party in Church Street, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Common questions in Church Street
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Church Street from London?
About 25 miles from central London.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
