A hog roast or other catering?

Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

How our party hog roast works in Fisher's Pond
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. For retirement parties and big family get-togethers, we can cook coleslaw, crackling and jacket potatoes for your guests.
A country party near Fisher's Pond is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A summer party in Fisher's Pond stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
