Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Highleigh
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, it’s light in Highleigh until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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 set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
