Party hog roast in Glympton
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Glympton
Is Glympton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, it is light in Glympton until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the 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.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
