How our party hog roast works in Herne Pound
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Whether it is family reunions and leaving and retirement do’s, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling and more.
A country party near Herne Pound is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
