How our party hog roast works in Combe
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and engagement parties, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
Country parties near Combe suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A heads-up for next door
- A spot well away from the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
