Party hog roast in Elvetham Heath, carved to order
After a christening near Elvetham Heath, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. For engagement parties and big family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling.
Parties around Elvetham Heath are frequently relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
