Party hog roast in Hattingley, slow-roasted on site
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve apple sauce, jacket potatoes and crackling, and we’re often booked for milestone birthdays and back-garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Hattingley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

You get to enjoy your own party.

Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, if it applies
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- A clear list of what’s included
- The space, cover and access they need
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For an evening party in Hattingley, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Hattingley: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Hattingley from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
