A hog roast near Greatham
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Greatham: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Greatham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Greatham hosts choose us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
