Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, you get to enjoy the party. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

About our party hog roast in Ditton
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. For family reunions and street parties, we can cook jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
Near Ditton, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help

- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evening parties in Ditton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
