How our party hog roast works in Curteis' Corner
After a christening near Curteis' Corner, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding anniversaries and family reunions, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Curteis' Corner, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Curteis' Corner is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.

Common questions in Curteis' Corner
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Curteis' Corner too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
