How our party hog roast works in Hampton Poyle
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. We serve coleslaw, crackling and jacket potatoes, and we’re often booked for naming ceremonies and getting-engaged parties.
Country parties near Hampton Poyle suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Hampton Poyle, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Hampton Poyle: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Hampton Poyle?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
