Party hog roast in Donkey Street
How our party hog roast works in Donkey Street
After a christening near Donkey Street, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Typical bookings include street parties and big family get-togethers, serving apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
A country party near Donkey Street is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Parking close to the house

Donkey Street: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Donkey Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are 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. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
