Party hog roast for Heads Hill
About our party hog roast in Heads Hill
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We serve jacket potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and retirement celebrations.
In a small place like Heads Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed

- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Questions from Heads Hill
Can you do a hog roast in New Greenham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Autumn parties in Heads Hill get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
