Party hog roast in Hatch Warren
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Party hog roast in Hatch Warren, slow-roasted on site
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We’re often asked to cater big family get-togethers and retirement celebrations, serving coleslaw, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a place like Hatch Warren, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Common questions in Hatch Warren
Is Hatch Warren close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at The Church Of Christ The King: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Where the roaster can go in Hatch Warren
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
