Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Party hog roast in Cliftonville, slow-roasted on site
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Cliftonville suit a hog roast: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. We serve and tidy up.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Somewhere for us to park nearby

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Cliftonville, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
