Party hog roast in Headley, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Popular choices include apple sauce, crackling and jacket potatoes, and typical bookings are for summer parties in the garden and street parties.
Near Headley, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
FAQs for Headley
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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.
Do you come out to small places like Headley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When 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 should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Headley is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
