A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Party hog roast near Eel Pie Island
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. For retirement parties and neighbourhood parties, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and coleslaw.

- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Any travel or access charges
- The full menu and the sides
- Allergen information for every dish
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, it is light in Eel Pie Island until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
