How our party hog roast works in Garlinge Green
In Garlinge Green, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. Our staff serve and clear. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater christenings and big family get-togethers.
In a small place like Garlinge Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, it is light in Garlinge Green until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
