Party hog roast near Headbourne Worthy
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. For christenings and family reunions, we can cook apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls for your guests.
Near Headbourne Worthy, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A word with the neighbours
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A spot well away from the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Headbourne Worthy is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
