Party hog roast in Fosten Green, carved to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, with the right permissions. On the menu are crackling, apple sauce and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and summer parties in the garden.
In a small place like Fosten Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
For event organisers in Fosten Green
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What affects the price in Fosten Green
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Fosten Green questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Margaret's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Fosten Green close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A step-free way into the garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
