Party hog roast in Greywell, carved to order
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for close and cul-de-sac parties and getting-engaged parties.
A country party near Greywell is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Greywell, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
