Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Party hog roast in Dunsbury, carved to order
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We roast on site in Dunsbury, then carve at the time you choose, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we are often booked for big family get-togethers and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
Near Dunsbury, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Dunsbury
Can you roast near the sea around Dunsbury?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Dunsbury too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
Dunsbury is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
