Party hog roast for Hethe
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Common questions in Hethe
Is Hethe too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hethe from London?
About 55 miles from central London.
What space does the roaster 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 are unsure.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you come to Hethe?
Yes, Hethe is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party in Hethe. In Hethe, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
