About our party hog roast in Heathfield
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re frequently booked for retirement celebrations and family reunions.
Parties around Heathfield are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party in Heathfield. For an evening party in Heathfield, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Questions from Heathfield
We’re gathering after a service at St Columba: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Heathfield?
Fareham station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten

- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
