About our party hog roast in Flemings
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. For ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a small place like Flemings, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Travel to Flemings
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Flemings
How far is Flemings from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Is Flemings too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
