About our party hog roast in Hazelwood
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for engagement parties and big family get-togethers.
Near Hazelwood, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Hazelwood stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
