How our party hog roast works in East Hoathly
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’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and engagement celebrations.
Country parties near East Hoathly suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. 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.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
