About our party hog roast in Coscote

Near Coscote, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset in Coscote is about 7:10pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Coscote
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?

Is Coscote too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
