How our party hog roast works in Crow
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
Near Crow, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Neighbours warned about the smell
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Crow
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, it is light in Crow until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
