How our party hog roast works in East Preston
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Typical bookings include garden parties and wedding anniversaries, with a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls.
For a party in East Preston, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Where the roaster can go in East Preston
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

FAQs for East Preston
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is East Preston close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
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.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
