How our party hog roast works in Four Throws
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We serve jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for big birthday parties and family reunions.
Near Four Throws, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
