About our party hog roast in Hightown
After a christening near Hightown, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater christenings and naming days and close and cul-de-sac parties.
In a small place like Hightown, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Questions from Hightown
Do you come out to small places like Hightown?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come to Hightown?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Space, access and the venue

- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A heads-up for next door
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Hightown is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:05pm in December, we need light to carve.
