Party hog roast for Farthing Green
About our party hog roast in Farthing Green
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are often booked for summer parties in the garden and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
In a small place like Farthing Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Farthing Green
Do you come out to small places like Farthing Green?

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What affects the price in Farthing Green
The biggest factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Farthing Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
