Party hog roast near Gushmere
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Gushmere, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Typical bookings include ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and engagement parties, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and coleslaw.
In a small place like Gushmere, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, sunset in Gushmere is about 7:00pm; by December it’s about 3:50pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
