How our party hog roast works in Finglesham
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. On the menu are apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for summer parties in the garden and christenings and naming days.
In a small place like Finglesham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What else we do in Finglesham
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Finglesham
Is Finglesham 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.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
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 will check.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
