Party hog roast near Dibden Purlieu
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. For naming ceremonies and family reunions, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken and more.
Around Dibden Purlieu, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
Every party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: fill in our quote form.
