Party hog roast in Dippenhall, slow-roasted on site
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. Whether it is milestone birthdays and street parties, we can cook coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce and more.
Country parties near Dippenhall suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

FAQs for Dippenhall
Is Dippenhall too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Underdown nature reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
