Party hog roast in Egerton
How our party hog roast works in Egerton
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. 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. Popular choices include crackling, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for christenings and neighbourhood parties.
Country parties near Egerton suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Why choose a hog roast in Egerton?
Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot well away from the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce

Pluckley station, about 2.7 miles south of the centre.
