Party hog roast for Donnington
How our party hog roast works in Donnington
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 can enjoy your own party. We serve apple sauce, crackling and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and christenings and naming days.
Near Donnington, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Donnington
Do you come out to small places like Donnington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Donnington?
Chichester station, about 1.6 miles north of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What affects the price in Donnington
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your party: use our quote form.
For event organisers in Donnington
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
