Party hog roast in Elmer
Party hog roast in Elmer, carved to order
For a christening or naming day in Elmer, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and jacket potatoes, and we’re often booked for neighbourhood parties and leaving and retirement do’s.
In a place like Elmer, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Elmer
Can you cater after a service at St Nicholas Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Elmer?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
