Party hog roast for Exton
Party hog roast in Exton, slow-roasted on site
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. For retirement celebrations and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Exton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A spot well away from the house
- A word with the neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What affects the price in Exton
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Sunset in Exton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
