Party hog roast in Gawcott, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll check it with you. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater reunions and getting-engaged parties.
Country parties near Gawcott suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Other occasions in Gawcott
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Gawcott: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Gawcott?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Gawcott stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
