Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Haslingbourne
Do you come out to small places like Haslingbourne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater?
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.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
About our party hog roast in Haslingbourne
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. For wedding anniversaries and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
A country party near Haslingbourne is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Haslingbourne is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 4:00pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
