Party hog roast in Forge Wood
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Evening parties in Forge Wood need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.

For event organisers in Forge Wood
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
