How our party hog roast works in Great Hollands
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Great Hollands, then carve at the time you choose, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. For street parties and retirement parties, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
Parties around Great Hollands are often relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, it’s light in Great Hollands until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
