Party hog roast in Fairbourne Heath, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Whether it’s close and cul-de-sac parties and big family get-togethers, we can cook apple sauce, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
A country party near Fairbourne Heath is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.

Fairbourne Heath questions
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Fairbourne Heath too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Fairbourne Heath, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
