Party hog roast for Finberry
Party hog roast near Finberry
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. We are frequently asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and garden parties, serving coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
In a small place like Finberry, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Finberry hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Served at the time you choose
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Finberry questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Finberry is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A spot well away from the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Jacket potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
For event organisers in Finberry
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
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.
