Party hog roast in Eton
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Party hog roast in Eton, carved to order
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Typical bookings include naming ceremonies and engagement parties, serving coleslaw, crackling and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Eton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Eton questions
Is Eton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Parties in Eton: homes, halls and local tips

A hog roast compared with other options

- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A spot well away from the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Eton
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset in Eton is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
