Party hog roast in Egerton Forstal
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Party hog roast in Egerton Forstal, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and retirement parties.
In a small place like Egerton Forstal, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For an evening party in Egerton Forstal, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
