How our party hog roast works in Heckfield Heath
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. We are often asked to cater christenings and wedding anniversaries, with coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Heckfield Heath, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Autumn parties in Heckfield Heath get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
