Party hog roast in Hinton Ampner
About our party hog roast in Hinton Ampner
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. For close and cul-de-sac parties and family reunions, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
In a small place like Hinton Ampner, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- 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 before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Your date and serving time

The process

At midsummer, it is light in Hinton Ampner until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Questions from Hinton Ampner
Do you come out to small places like Hinton Ampner?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cover Hinton Ampner?
Yes, Hinton Ampner is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
