Party hog roast in Hart Plain, slow-roasted on site
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We serve coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding anniversaries and close and cul-de-sac parties.
Around Hart Plain, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, it’s light in Hart Plain until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.

Catered or do it yourself?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Questions from Hart Plain
Is Hart Plain close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at The Hart Plain Church?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
