Party hog roast near Cranbourne
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Typical bookings include leaving and retirement do’s and christenings and naming days, with jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
In a small place like Cranbourne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Cranbourne questions
Is Cranbourne close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it is light in Cranbourne until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

What affects the price in Cranbourne
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Cranbourne
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or SL4 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
