Slow-roasted pork in East Cholderton
Party hog roast in East Cholderton, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
Country parties near East Cholderton suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
East Cholderton: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like East Cholderton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
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.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your menu choices

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the roaster
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Salads
- Jacket potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
