Party hog roast for Denmead
How our party hog roast works in Denmead
For a christening or naming day in Denmead, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. We serve apple sauce, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for getting-engaged parties and big birthday parties.
For a party in Denmead, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening parties in Denmead need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.

- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Common questions in Denmead
Which station is closest to Denmead?
Cosham station, about 4.1 miles south of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you come to Denmead?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
