Party hog roast for Cuxton
About our party hog roast in Cuxton
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and back-garden get-togethers.
Near Cuxton, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Cuxton: your questions answered
Could you cook in Baty's Marsh?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Cuxton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Cuxton
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. A summer party in Cuxton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

For event organisers in Cuxton
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
