About our party hog roast in East Lockinge
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. For christenings and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your guests.
Country parties near East Lockinge suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in East Lockinge stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
