How our party hog roast works in Flete
For a christening or naming day in Flete, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. Whether it’s retirement celebrations and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
A country party near Flete is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Full catering or machine hire?

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The process

A summer party in Flete stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
