Slow-roasted pork in Foley Park
How our party hog roast works in Foley Park
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it is street parties and engagement parties, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
Around Foley Park, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset in Foley Park is about 7:00pm; by December it is about 3:50pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
