About our party hog roast in Gun Hill
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. For reunions and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we can cook jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
A country party near Gun Hill is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Planned to your running order

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, sunset in Gun Hill is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
