About our party hog roast in Cote
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. We’re frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and big birthday parties, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and coleslaw.
Country parties near Cote suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Events we cater in Cote
One roast feeds everyone together, instead of food in dribs and drabs.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset in Cote is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Cote questions
Can you do a hog roast in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Cote too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
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.
Do you come to Cote?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
