How our party hog roast works in Faberstown
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and jacket potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays.
Near Faberstown, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Faberstown
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter in the Wood?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Faberstown from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
