Slow-roasted pork in Elmhurst
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Party hog roast near Elmhurst
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
In a place like Elmhurst, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Elmhurst stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
