Party hog roast in Highbridge, carved to order
For a christening or naming day in Highbridge, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, without anyone stuck cooking. Typical bookings include engagement parties and summer parties in the garden, with crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
Near Highbridge, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Parking close to the house
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Highbridge, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
