Book a hog roast in Hardley
Party hog roast near Hardley
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Typical bookings include leaving and retirement do’s and garden parties, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and coleslaw.
A country party near Hardley is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening parties in Hardley need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

What else we do in Hardley
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
