Party hog roast in Highstead, slow-roasted on site
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Highstead suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for naming ceremonies and close and cul-de-sac parties.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Highstead
How far is Highstead from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Bishopstone Cliffs?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
For event organisers in Highstead
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
